The first housing project in Chicago, the Jane Addams Homes, opened in 1938 as part of the Roosevelt administration’s Public Works Administration Act, a program aimed at creating jobs and reviving the economy in response to the Great Depression. Plans for a museum have been in motion since December of 2006 when the CHA’s Central Advisory Council first proposed the museum and set a goal to open the museum’s doors by 2012. But the plan’s momentum has been drawn almost to a halt by community disapproval and a lack of funding, according to Chris Provenzano, a spokesman for the University Village Association.
