School buses were lined up at the Student Union of the University of Illinois Chicago to take participants on tours to homes in 23 neighborhoods including Rogers Park, South Chicago and East and West Pullman.

The cavalcade was a collaboration of the Chicago of House and Department of Planning and Development in conjunction with for-profit and non-profit developers.
