What @chicagotribune gets wrong about the bond plan: no need to start small to prove it works. Lightfoot administration already piloted it, & for DOH, all $75m in multifamily $ was allocated to deals that couldn’t close w/out it. We know it works. Pass it. chicagotribune.com/2024/03/31/edi…
#RFP: Understanding the formidable challenges confronting the #Chicago region in the fight against #homelessness, #ChiTrust is offering a funding opportunity aimed at bolstering community organizations within the homeless service sector. #Philanthropy cct.org/grants/opportu…
Chicago is nearing the three-year anniversary of legalizing ADUs in five pilot areas, and there's no better time than now (during a housing crisis) to allowing everyone in the city the option to build one. Sign this petition to show your support ➡️ buff.ly/3QxX4eG
Also it's embarrassing Stockholm syndrome to act like we can't figure out where & how to spend money if TIF isn't dictating location. Lean into establishing strong criteria based on principles & values: equitable distribution, ETOD, etc. & then hold ppl accountable to follow it.

To say bonds would make Bring Chicago Home unnecessary reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what both would do & why both are needed. Expiring TIFs’ scale is massive & needs a comparable but > equitable replacement - which will be oversubscribed even without homelessness.

it looks like the demolition surcharge in two areas of Chicago have been pretty effective at mitigating runaway demolitions of housing in Pilsen and around the western half of the Bloomingdale Trail (it became effective in 2021)
My condolences to City Hall comrades on this devastating news. The Dept of Housing alone likely kept them open as long as they were ☕️ 😩

Lost in the headlines on asylum seekers is the fact that one government program is already providing them with permanent housing: the Chicago Low Income Housing Trust Fund, which has long helped Chicagoans pay just 30% of their income in rent. Great work @clihtf & @ChicagoDOH

I visited Pontevedra, Spain to meet its car-free mayor, who says stuff like this: "It's not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them." fastcompany.com/90952175/this-…

@chicagobars DOH received $190m+ in CRP bonds at the end of 2021; virtually all of that is in some stage of deployment. In large capital projects that have an extended planning period & complex financial structure, dollars might not leave the door immediately even when projects are underway
Apologize when you truly mean it. Not just anytime someone is upset with you. Apologizing to appease is manipulation.
It’s not supposed to be easy or convenient to drive downtown
New Homes for Chicago provided my family with stable, safe housing in a now gentrified neighborhood. It will be the main reason my folks are able to retire safely & (somewhat) on time. More should be able to benefit from it. Glad to see it in the housing bond proposal.
-Expansion of our network of non congregate shelters $10m -Addt’l funding for new PSH $20m -Funding for a revival of New Homes for Chicago program, putting affordable units on vacant city land $20m (work with developers to sell the lots for $1 to develop)
