Humboldt Park housing

Cheshire West and Chester Council is consulting on a new housing plan as part of Chester's city centre regeneration, aiming to introduce residential properties on a site with a former shopping centre, with the council set to seek a developer partner soon. In Milford, the redevelopment of a 47-acre office park into a mixed-use community with 514 housing units, including 15% affordable housing, has been approved by the local board, reflecting the need for revitalization in the area. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced the Liberty Landing project in Manhattan, converting the former Bayview Correctional Facility into 124 affordable housing units, with additional facilities for youth and transitional housing. The projects across these cities emphasize the growing focus on affordable housing and community development amid urban regeneration efforts. In Chicago, a tent city is expanding in Humboldt Park, prompting local officials to push for the establishment of a new homeless shelter. These developments highlight diverse approaches to addressing housing shortages and community needs in urban settings.
