It may seem like the search for affordable housing is as elusive as a COVID-19 vaccination appointment â a long, arduous process that often includes a waitlist.
For Jeanette Freeman, 24, moving from her familyâs South Side dwelling to live on her own in a one-bedroom apartment took her all of a year â from launching the search to submitting her name for a Chicago Housing Authority unit in Oso Apartments in Albany Park on the North Side.
âI was searching online for affordable housing, applying anywhere and everywhere,â she said. âAnd I said let me try CHA. I applied online to CHAâs site-based projects. Oso was just one of the apartments that pulled me in. I got in, after a week of applying. It was a blessing. Iâm still in disbelief.â
