The Chicago Housing Authority will do away with its strict "third-third-third" rule where CHA projects feature one-third market rate condos, one-third affordable rentals, and one-third public housing. CHA CEO Charles Woodyard, an appointee of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, said at a meeting last night that CHA "will decide what the income mix needs to be community by community, and sometimes building by building."

CHA's Plan For Transformation was released in 2000 with the idea that public housing residents should be better integrated with the rest of Chicago. Emanuel and Woodyard announced a Plan For Transformation 2.0 in February, but after an arguably limited public input process, the goals of 2.0 have not been clear.
