Summary

Getting into Chicago Housing Authority units is hard enough, but the agency is also processing hundreds of relocation requests for current tenants facing health and safety issues. Executive producer Simone Alicea and creative producer Michelle Navarro discuss the challenges. They also find out which community area doesn’t have a library and discuss the reality TV-worthy drama of the piping plovers’ mating season. Plus, a surprise cameo from host Jacoby Cochran!
