Construction is officially underway on the Southwest Organizing Project’s long-anticipated affordable housing development at 63rd and Western, marking an exciting step forward for the community. The 44-unit complex represents years of organizing, planning, and advocacy to bring more affordable housing opportunities to families on the Southwest Side of Chicago.

With construction crews now active on site, neighbors can expect to see steady progress in the coming months. What may look like just another construction zone today will soon become a vibrant new home for dozens of families.

SWOP encourages community members to keep an eye on the corner of 63rd and Western—because before long, this familiar intersection will begin to transform, reflecting the power of community vision turned into reality.
