A Housing Agenda for Chicago’s Future
Chicago’s next mayor should move the city closer to realization of the right to housing. This is not intended to suggest a merely symbolic statement, but a call to action for a comprehensive framework to expand access to decent, affordable housing that serves as the foundation for household safety and security that extends to the neighborhood. Shelter is a need shared by all, with housing existing as a multi-faceted policy priority that is no more important anywhere but Chicago.
I have worked over the past several weeks to articulate a vision and a series of proposals for the future of housing policy in Chicago, particularly focusing on a policy framework that moves the needle on increasing equity.
