Over the last several weeks, the Chicago Housing Authority helped to make a happier holiday season for thousands of its families, thanks to its sponsors and employees.  “We would like to thank our partners, who helped deliver more than 2,000 gifts to CHA children, and over 19,000 care packages to CHA seniors and families,” said CHA CEO Tracey Scott. “These events put smiles on faces and remind us of the true meaning of the season.” Among the holiday events:
