Preservation Update: Major Renovation Project at Brooks Homes Gets Underway

For the first time in nearly 25 years, CHA is undertaking a major renovation project at Brooks Homes, part of the ABLA campus on the near west side. The renovation includes interior updates and upgrades in all 330 apartments, new roofs, new doors and windows, and new landscaping, sidewalks and streets.

As of this month, the roofing portion of the project is completed. Interior renovations are set to begin this spring and will take place in eight phases, allowing residents to relocate from their current apartment into a newly renovated apartment within the Brooks Homes campus. The full renovation is scheduled to be finished in the spring of 2027.
