Tell Your Alderperson: Bring Chicago Home!

More than 86,000 people in Chicago are experiencing homelessness. While many reside in shelters, many more are forced to double up, couch surf, relocate, and find other ways to stay off the streets. Poor, BIPOC and other marginalized Chicagoans are struggling, and rising rent prices and job losses from COVID-19 have only intensified the crisis.

Thankfully, we have an effective way forward. Together with a coalition of community organizations from across the city, JCUA is working to win the Bring Chicago Home campaign, which will address Chicago's housing crisis by creating a dedicated revenue stream for permanent supportive housing — the proven solution to homelessness — using money generated from a progressive Real Estate Transfer Tax. Learn more about BCH's proposal.

Right now, we need to put pressure on all 50 Chicago alderpeople and Mayor Lori Lightfoot to get the Bring Chicago Home initative on the ballot for the next election! Please take 30 seconds to fill out the below information, which will send an email to your alderperson encouraging them to bring forward our campaign!
