EAST CHICAGO â The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other agencies missed multiple opportunities to safeguard residents from lead and arsenic contamination at the West Calumet Housing Complex, according to a federal Inspector General report released Wednesday.Â
The watchdog report by HUD s Office of Inspector General also warned that HUD may be aware of other situations like West Calumet and should be doing more to identify other contaminated housing sites across the country.
Emily Coffey, housing justice staff attorney with the Chicago-based Shriver Center on Poverty Law, said the report confirms it took nearly 40 years for residents to learn what government officials and polluters knew all along about West Calumet Housing Complex site s past.
