Chicago Historic Bungalow Initiative

The Chicago Bungalow was developed in 1919 in response to a pressing demand for owner-occupied housing during a period of dynamic growth in Chicago’s population and economic base. To help preserve this element of Chicago's social and architectural history, the City of Chicago's Department of Housing has created the Historic Chicago Bungalow Initiative. The program is administered in conjunction with a not-for-profit organization, the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association.

Benefits of the program are for new Bungalow buyers as well as Bungalow owners.

Chicago Green Bungalow Initiative

The Chicago Historic Bungalow Initiative is a program that provides financial incentives to help Chicagoans buy, restore, and improve Historic Chicago Bungalows and to demonstrate energy efficiency in the context of historic design. The program is a joint effort of the City of Chicago, the Historic Chicago Bungalow Association, the Chicago Architecture Foundation, and numerous Chicago banks and real estate brokers.
