Environmental justice is also housing justice! These systemic issues are intersectional. When we help one, we naturally help the others.

Early voting is happening NOW! When you think about who to vote for, WHO is going to show up for your community? WHO is going to make sure they are taking care of their people? WHO will uplift the voices of Chicagoans? And WHO is going to minimize the gap with accessible housing?

And that's a wrap! The recording of the event will be available shortly.
10% of Chicagoans identify as disabled, and the Mayor’s Office plays an important role in the policies that impact #pwd most. On 1/7/23, join us at the Disability Candidates’ Forum to hear what the next mayor plans for disability supports and services. accessliving.org/get-involved/t…
Last week was a busy week at Access Living!
Northern Illinois University is sitting on a bunch of dorm rooms that are empty. It's not that Chicago lacks housing, it's that Chicago lacks the political will to house people.
In under no circumstance should someone be waiting over 25 years for housing -- especially when they used all the routes they were supposed to. If within the system itself, you are waiting 25+ years for housing, that speaks to how poorly the system is functioning. (THREAD)
"These types of deals show how the CHA has drifted away from its mission to provide affordable housing," said Don Washington, one of the authors of the letter to HUD. @chi_housing
And if you want to talk about how long you've been on a waiting list for public housing, you can record your story with @chi_housing. You can also join the @BringChiHome campaign for dedicated revenue for housing and homeless services.
@mickeyd1971 @ProPublicaIL on @bennyjshow about CHA land used for other purposes @JohnMcDermottJr @EastlakeTenants @LB_HopeCenter @chi_housing ICYMI open.spotify.com/episode/3FAhtq…
Hard to describe how the public landscape of Chicago changes during Mexican Independence weekend. There's something visually striking about the way Mexican flags become ubiquitous everywhere. A visual reminder how Mexican immigrants are integral to this city's identity.
@chi_housing @SorenSpicknall “It seems that the CHA wants to get out of the business of providing quality housing for families.” Did they ever?
Sign the petition from our coalition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop… Mayor Lightfoot and co.: Don't sell public land to a private development - that land is for affordable housing!
As we have covered over the last couple months, the city of Chicago along with the CHA are in the process of selling public land meant for housing to for-profit Chicago Fire for a soccer stadium. Previously, this land held the ABLA homes.
She has waited 29 years for housing assistance. Now she is fighting for change: @NPR reports on @taylorfor20th's experience, highlighting the challenges the housing voucher system, speaking with @chi_housing & @NHLPA. buff.ly/3OfiDNp
@chi_housing Yes, it's happening at ABLA and all over the city of Chicago where public housing was promised to be replaced. Now, before they can even complete the first phase of South Bridge apartments, they are talking about swapping part of that land, smh😒
@taylorfor20th @chi_housing @AccessLiving @PilsenAlliance @STOPChicago @TenantsRights @affordableJP @ONENorthside @PCR_Chicago1979 @LB_HopeCenter I APPLAUD Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor, for standing up for housing and people who have waited so long. Sorry that you had to experience what so many of us are going through and continue to. Trying to find housing in Chicago. That is affordable CHA is a lottery within a lottery.
@taylorfor20th @chi_housing @AccessLiving @PilsenAlliance @STOPChicago @TenantsRights @affordableJP @ONENorthside @PCR_Chicago1979 @LB_HopeCenter Congratulations
Proud to stand with the @chi_housing today. We must pass the Accountable Housing Transparency Registry Ordinance.
From the Access Living Newsroom: BREAKING: Governor Pritzker Signs Source of Income and Legislative Accessibility... bit.ly/3MIFEaP
“HUD has a contract that pays the building’s owner more than $120,000 a month…but says it has little leverage to force changes aside from imposing fines.” Landlords that take public money need to be held accountable. This could easily be written about our efforts at North Point
Reading about horrible living conditions in a subsidized housing building managed by LLC APEX Chicago IL. (THREAD) chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/202…
And we're proud members of @chi_housing!
Access Living works really hard to make the public aware of barriers people with disabilities face while also working hard to minimize/eliminate those barriers specifically around housing needs.
