Housing Authority Insights from José Alvarez

The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) operates a unique program under Section 3 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Using Job Order Contracting (JOC), CHA issued more than $80 million of construction work in 2017 to improve living conditions for its 62,000 low-income residents. Plus, through a partnership with Gordian, the CHA is providing training, guidance, and mentorship to area contractors—some of whom are Section 3 residents themselves. CHA Chief Operating Officer Jose Alvarez discusses CHA’s Section 3 JOC program in this month’s Executive Interview.

Town of Greece Streetlights Installation 7

Town of Greece Streetlights Installation

At the request of its residents, the town of Greece in Monroe County, New York considered installing street lighting on a mile-long stretch of residential road. Town leaders were all for the idea, as the street had never been lit before. There was just one problem: The road was already under construction and town decision-makers feared moving forward with the streetlights project would delay road construction. They turned to Job Order Contracting to fulfill the residents’ request.
