Ida B. Wells Homes was a Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) public housing project located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It was bordered by Dr. Martin Luther King Drive on the west, Cottage Grove Avenue to the east, 37th Street to the north, and 39th Street (Pershing Road) to the south. The Ida B. Wells Homes consisted of rowhouses and mid- and high-rise apartment buildings and were constructed for African Americans in 1939–41. ==History==
Named for African American journalist and newspaper editor Ida B. Wells,〔Caryn Rousseau, Associated Press, ("Ida B. Wells Sculpture To Be Built In Chicago" ), Chicago Impact, ''Huffington Post'', December 28, 2011.〕 the housing project was constructed between 1939 and 1941 as a Public Works Administration project to house black families in the "ghetto", in accordance with federal regulations requiring public housing projects to maintain the segregation of neighborhoods.〔Harvey M. Choldin, ("Chicago Housing Authority" ), Electronic Encyclopedia of Chicago, Chicago Historical Society, 2005.〕〔Kenneth J.

B. St. Jean, ''Pockets of Crime: Broken Windows, Collective Efficacy, and the Criminal Point of View'', Chicago: University of Chicago, 2007, ISBN 9780226774985, (p. 14 ).〕 It was the fourth public housing project constructed in Chicago before World War II and was much larger than the others, with 1,662 units.〔 It had more than 860 apartments and almost 800 row houses and garden apartments,〔 and included a city park, Madden Park. Described as "handsome () well planned", the project was initially a sought-after address and a route to success.〔J. S. Fuerst and D.
