Cabrini Green Residents Call On Chicago To Open Housing To Katrina Victims

CHICAGO - SEPTEMBER 09: New Orleans evacuee, seven-year-old Ayazah Lee, looks out a window of a vacant home he hopes soon to be living in during a visit to Chicago Housing Authority's Cabrini Green public housing project September 9, 2005 in Chicago, Illinois. The Coalition to Protect Public Housing (CPPH) is demanding that the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) provide vacant units in Chicago's public housing, Cabrini Green, to families made homeless by Hurricane Katrina. The group states that if the CHA does not help, the Cabrini residents will themselves rehab the vacant units, making them available for evacuees. The group states that HUD has available money for the CHA to make the vacant public housing units available. Ayazah traveled to Chicago with his mother Jataun Lee and uncle Thomas Lee.
