Jason Reblando’s photographs of public housing document how the Chicago Housing Authority’s “Plan For Transformation” affects both the urban landscape and public housing residents. His intentions are two-fold: to humanize the housing projects through portraiture of residents, and to provide a context of the public housing landscape. www.jasonreblando.com
