A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed in June by local housing groups over a plan to build a new training facility for the Chicago Fire soccer club on the Near West Side.
A lawsuit filed over the Chicago Housing Authority’s agreement to lease land to the Chicago Fire soccer club for a new training facility on the Near West Side was dismissed Friday. Filed against CHA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, the lawsuit alleged the deal to lease 23 acres of vacant CHA land in Roosevelt Square did not undergo proper local and federal reviews.
”In the end, Plaintiffs’ objections stem from a philosophical difference—rather than a legal injury—as to how CHA manages its vacant land,” the judge wrote. Don Washington, executive director of the Chicago Housing Initiative, said since the judge ruled that advocacy groups cannot file a suit like this, no one will be able to speak for the people who have been moved off of CHA land.
