🍃 Wentworth Gardens is kicking off summer with big indoor and outdoor upgrades. CHA’s Green and Healthy Homes team partnered with ComEd’s Multi-Family Energy Savings Program to install more than 300 new energy efficient AC units improving comfort, air quality, and energy use.

🌳 Plus, CHA and Openlands planted 50 new trees to boost shade, color, and community pride. Together, these improvements are making Wentworth Gardens cooler, healthier, and more beautiful for residents.
