\nOn Tuesday, February 9th<\/sup> The Resurrection Project (TRP), celebrated the completion of Casa Quere\u0301taro, located at 2012 West 17th<\/sup> Street, Chicago, IL 60608. The packed event was attended by community stakeholders, leaders, media, and elected officials. Raul Raymundo, TRP\u2019s CEO, kicked off the event with a warm welcome, followed by Father Charles Dahm of St. Pius Parish who blessed the new space.
\nSpeakers included Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Alderman Daniel Solis of the 25th Ward, Eugene Jones, CEO of the Chicago Housing Authority, George Wright, Director, Citi Community Development \u2013 Global Consumer Group, neighborhood leader Alica Rocha, and Casa Quer\u00e9taro tenant Soledad Dieguez. The event concluded with a reception and tours of Casa Quer\u00e9taro.
\nCasa Quer\u00e9taro, is a brand new, state-of-the-art apartment building which has 45 units of quality, affordable housing. It was created to help working families stay in the neighborhood while enjoying the amenities, safety, and comfort of a modern home.
\nFor the last 25 years, TRP has developed more than 600 unites of safe, high-quality affordable housing solutions in Pilsen, Little Village, Back of the Yards, and Melrose Park.
\n\u201cThe Resurrection Project continues its commitment to balanced development by creating affordable and dignified housing for working families,\u201d said Raul Raymundo, TRP\u2019s CEO. \u201cThe new construction comes at a time when people are struggling to find housing within their budgets and TRP is proud to be able to offer quality, safe housing people can afford.\u201d
\nNationally and locally, tenants are spending more than 30% on housing costs while employment wages continue to remain stagnant. TRP is proud to be able to offer quality, safe housing solutions people can afford.
\n\u201cThe new apartment building is impacting my family because for the very first time in my life I have a new apartment and my two sons have their own bedroom,\u201d said Soledad Dieguez, a new tenant at Casa Quer\u00e9taro. \u201cThis type of affordable housing is important because it gives us the opportunity to live with dignity and respect in places like this.\u201d
\nWhile Casa Quer\u00e9taro is a beautiful building and a community asset, this wasn\u2019t always the case. Prior to the construction, TRP and area residents organized to tear down the abandoned silos that used to be on the vacant lot where Casa Quer\u00e9taro now stands. The silos were a magnet for vandalism and criminal activity, and the site itself was often used to burn tires, creating a health hazard for area families and children.
\n\u201cWe are delighted to partner with TRP,\u201d said Eugene Jones, CEO of the Chicago Housing Authority. \u201cWhat we\u2019re doing here today is the future, ensuring that Chicagoans can find the affordable housing they need in the neighborhoods they call home.\u201d
\n\u201cCitibank is proud to collaborate in partnerships like Casa Quer\u00e9taro because together we can strengthen local communities and support the expansion of affordable housing opportunities for families in Chicago,\u201d said George Wright, Director, Citi Community Development \u2013 Global Consumer Group. Citibank provided $8.5 million as bond financing that was used during the construction of Casa Quer\u00e9taro.
\nAlderman Daniel \u201cDanny\u201d Solis of the 25th<\/sup> Ward also commented on the importance of projects like Casa Quer\u00e9taro to transform the community. \u201cOur partnership with TRP is helping to provide affordable housing solutions to families,\u201d said Alderman Solis. \u201cTo-date TRP is the leading developer in the neighborhood that has provided over 370 units of quality housing in Pilsen to ensure families can afford a dignified place to live.\u201d
\nCasa Quer\u00e9taro represents a $15 million investment in Chicago\u2019s Pilsen community that has created jobs and economic opportunity. In the summer, TRP will host a community celebration for families to come and learn more about this new community asset.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve been living in Pilsen for 40 years and I live in front of Casa Queretaro,\u201d said Alicia Rocha, who advocated alongside TRP for years to complete this project. \u201cToday, the empty lot has become a positive community space for families and our street is safer, more vibrant, and healthy for everyone.\u201d
\nThe project is possible thanks to significant investment from the following financing partners: City of Chicago\u2019s Department of Planning and Development, Citi Community Capital, Chicago Housing Authority and The National Equity Fund. The architects are DesignBridge Ltd., the general construction company was DENCO Construction, Inc.
\nThe completion of Casa Quer\u00e9taro is just the beginning of TRP\u2019s Vision 2020<\/em>,<\/a> a five-year strategic plan that will allow TRP to do more in five years than in the last 25.
