Mayor Brandon Johnson Demotes CHA Chair Over Leadership Dispute
Mayor Brandon Johnson has removed Matthew Brewer from his position as the chair of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) board. This decision follows a recent conflict where the CHA board, appointed by the mayor, opposed Johnson by appointing Keith Pettigrew as the new CEO of the agency. Johnson stated that this appointment violated state law, prompting his decision to demote Brewer. The CHA is a significant entity as it is the third-largest housing agency in the United States, and this leadership change could impact its operations and policies.
