Restoring a Chicago Neighborhood: Sustainable and Socially Responsible Urban Renewal

History professor turned small-scale affordable housing developer, Jovita Baber, believes everyone deserves to live in a beautiful environment. She’s found a way to turn her ideals into action, through her company, Historic Homes, reviving some of Chicago’s great buildings in neglected neighborhoods. She’s making them into affordable rentals, employing local workers and helping to rebuild a whole community. You can find my feature article about Baber’s work at Reinventing Home.
