The Chicago office for the community activist group, known as ACORN, seems to have disappeared. In its place; a company called “Affordable Housing Centers of America”, located in the same office, with apparently many of the same employees, according to a woman sitting behind a desk there.

The Chicago office seems to have, at one time, been the headquarters for ACORN Housing Inc., according to Matthew Vadum, of the Capital Research Center. A company brochure says AHCOA is “a HUD approved housing counseling agency” with “access to 43 mortgage servicers”.
