3 Summer CPE Courses 2007 Mid-Year Update & Forecast MacArthur Foundation Awards $3.5 Million Grant to the REC With a $3.5 million grant, the Real Estate Center at DePaul University joined a coalition of Chicago-area real estate, finance, philanthropic, non-profit and government organizations May 31 to launch a multi-faceted program to save affordable rental housing for low- and middle-income families in the Chicago region. The Preservation Compact, a project created by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, seeks to halt the dramatic decrease of affordable rental housing in Cook County by preserving 75,000 existing housing units that might otherwise be lost by Preservation Compact encompasses six key initiatives that address factors impacting the loss of affordable housing in Cook County and draws on a series of partnerships among local organizations to achieve its goals. As a partner, The Real Estate Center at DePaul is involved in two of the six initiatives. One is the creation of a Rental Housing Data Clearinghouse to track the status of affordable rental housing in the region using data from city, county and state agencies and other sources. The database will monitor affordable housing trends among unregulated and governmentsubsidized rental units in Cook County and issue early warnings about government-supported rental buildings that are at risk of leaving the affordable housing market. The second initiative is the management of an Interagency Council that will work to improve strategy coordination and information flow among governmental agencies dedicated to preserving affordable housing that is at-risk. Both initiatives will be housed at DePaul's College of Commerce on the university's Loop Campus. The Real Estate Center welcomes Marc Smith, Director of the Data Clearinghouse Project and Stacie Young who is joining us as the Interagency Coordinating Council Director.
