Biographical History
The inter-racial Metropolitan Housing Council was founded in 1934 to provide housing for low-income families. It initiated the Illinois Housing Cooperation Act, which led to the formation of the Chicago Housing Authority and the building of the first public housing projects in Chicago. It also instigated neighborhood rejuvenation projects and helped to develop Chicago's first housing code. The name was later changed to the Metropolitan Planning Council, which continues as a nonprofit, non-partisan group of business and civic leaders. MPC conducts policy analysis, outreach, and advocacy in the areas of housing, transportation and urban development.
