Formed with the help of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and legions of African Americans discriminated against during the Civil Rights era, the agency that helped pass the federal Fair Housing Act will close.

The agency received little funding in recent years and could not sustain costs. The Chicago agency became one of the most prominent fair housing agencies in the country and is best known for its 1976 Gautreaux program, which relocated 10,000 families in urban public housing to varied and diverse suburban areas.
