Chief Executive Officer Sharon Gist Gilliam talks about the goals for the current Plan for Transportation: "Entering the eighth year of the Plan, we have made a lot of progress, but we still have work to do: we need to continue our efforts to secure support from the federal government. We need to continue to show businesses the benefits of investment in CHA neighborhoods. And we must continue to show our residents – our family – that the opportunities are available now and the choice is theirs."
