The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) announced its 2026 summer programming lineup. This year, paid summer opportunities have reached 2,307 CHA residents ages 13-24, offering early exposure to career and education pathways while helping curb summer learning loss. Among the programs available this summer is the PeacePlayers Chicago, a youth development initiative offered through a partnership between CHA, PeacePlayers Chicago and Intentional Sports. The program offers a unique blend of basketball, leadership development, career readiness, and peace building for male students ages 13-15. They earn a $600 stipend for their participation. The PeacePlayers is just one of CHA’s several summer programs. Many of CHA’s summer programs kicked off last week and most last through July 31. For more information, visit www.thecha.org
