ABLA was a
public housing development made up of different public housing projects in
Chicago, Illinois, operated by the Chicago Housing Authority. The name “ABLA” was an acronym for four different housing developments that together constitute one large site. Those four developments were: the Jane Addams Homes, Grace Abbott Homes, Robert Brooks Homes, Robert Brooks Extension, and Loomis Courts. It spanned from Cabrini Street on the north to 14th Street on the south; and from Loomis on the east to Racine on the west. Most of ABLA has been razed for the Roosevelt Square mixed-income community development.
