What's New?

Brandon Court in Glen Ellyn – to be developed in 2008
CHAD has a history of being very “tuned in” to what is really needed in the DuPage community. Recently, staff and partnering agencies realized that individuals and small families are having a particularly difficult time finding housing. To meet that need, CHAD has contracted to purchase land, and is gathering grants and private funding to build a six-unit building with one-bedroom apartments in Glen Ellyn. All units will be about 700 square feet and have one bedroom. The project is located near transportation and shopping, just one block off Roosevelt Road.


Lippert Point in Glendale Heights – developed in 2004
CHAD developed the Lippert Point Project in 2004 with DuPage County HOME funds and some private financing. The use of a HOME funds grant is what made the townhomes affordable to low- and moderate-income families. The project was an innovative development that constructed 8 new town houses in Glendale Heights. Six units were sold as Just Homes and 2 units remain affordable rentals. The project targeted large families with children. Each town home has 3 or 4 bedrooms, 1.5 to 2.5 baths, two-car attached garage, and four have basements. Glendale Heights Village President Linda Jackson said she was pleased about the new affordable housing project. In 2007, the DuPage Homeownership Center selected CHAD and its Lippert Pointe Townhouse development for its substantial contribution to affordable housing in DuPage County. In nominating CHAD, Glendale Heights Mayor Linda Jackson praised the organization “for taking a unique approach in providing low- and moderate-income families the opportunity to purchase affordable homes in DuPage County.”
