Park Morton New Community  
 
Park Morton

Narrative Description
The District, in collaboration with the residents of Park Morton and the Park View community, initiated a public process to plan and implement the revitalization of the Park Morton public housing site as part of the New Communities Initiative. The Initiative's goal is to transform the public housing site into a mixed-income, mixed-use community. In this new community, residents will have access to high-quality housing options that will be made affordable to buyers and renters at all income levels. The New Communities Initiative will also provide the human services necessary to help prepare current residents for the new geconomic opportunities that are coming their way.
