\nFor many families and individuals, finding affordable housing continues to be a local and national struggle. Curbed.com recently reported\u00a0<\/a>that 3,000 apartments are under construction in downtown Chicago, with rents in some starting at $2,000 a month.While there is no shortage of housing in this area, most people who work downtown simply can\u2019t afford to live there. Many renters are already spending more than 30% of their wages on housing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Contributing to this trend is the wage gap that continues to grow. According to a 2014 National Low Incoming Housing Coalition study,<\/a> \u201cIn Chicago you need to make between $18.25 and $19.25 an hour to afford a typical two-bedroom rental.\u201d Between housing expenses and the wage gap, many families and individuals are unable to save money.
\nOne of these people was Vincent Garcia, who works downtown and was living in Brookfield. His commute going to and from work every day would range from 45 minutes to an hour. He was also spending a lot of money on gas and that, combined with his rent, didn\u2019t allow him to save.
\nHe decided to move into the city and began looking for apartments in the Bridgeport and Taylor Street\u00a0areas. He wanted to find a place within his budget where he could\u00a0live comfortably.Vincent searched\u00a0<\/span>for an apartment for a while but\u00a0<\/span>just couldn\u2019t find something that he could afford.\u201cRent is high everywhere now,\u201d said Vincent.\u201cThey want a lot of money for a one-bedroom or small studio.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
His luck changed when he happened to drive past Casa Maravilla,The Resurrection Project\u2019s senior housing apartment complex. He saw a sign\u00a0for TRP\u2019s Property Management department and called to see if they had vacancies.An occupancy specialist walked him through the process of applying and he ended up moving\u00a0into TRP\u2019s Casa Guerrero, a 25-unit apartment complex in Pilsen.<\/a>
\nOne of the things Vincent noticed immediately was that the apartments are comfortable and the building\u00a0is well maintained. He remembers repairing things himself and shoveling the snow at his old apartment.At Casa Guerrero, he knows TRP\u2019s property management is always there to help. He also appreciates that his whole paycheck isn\u2019t going towards rent.\u201cLiving at Casa Guerrero is allowing me to save money for other things. I\u2019m grateful for the work TRP does with housing in the community.\u201d
\nFor the past 25 years,The\u00a0Resurrection Project has been working to provide more than just housing.Tenants like Vincent also\u00a0have free access to TRP\u2019s full range\u00a0<\/span>of services, including financial literacy, citizenship, community leadership, and home purchase workshops.The goal is to activate residents like Vincent to imagine more for themselves.<\/span><\/div>\n
TRP understands the needs of families and individuals who need dignified and quality living spaces and is working with communities and local officials to create more community assets. Recently,TRP hosted a series of open houses in the Back of the Yards neighborhood to showcase its spacious and affordable apartments.
\nThis comes on the heels of the\u00a0latest community housing victory, Casa Quere\u0301taro, <\/a>a brand new, 45- unit complex of quality, affordable apartments being developed by TRP. The building will transform the Pilsen landscape and provide safe, clean, new apartments for individuals and families.<\/p>\n
