[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

Alderman Desmon Yancy supports a housing protection ordinance in South Shore!

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

We need to take the rent control fight to the state!

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

"They want our city, but they don't want us" - Alderwoman Taylor wants a city-wide CBA!

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

If people who were born and raised in Chicago suddenly can't afford to live in their own home, that's not on them - it's on the system!

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

Passing the Woodlawn housing ordinance is not enough - we have a lot more work to do to make sure that we're protecting our neighbors!

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

Jeannette Taylor says - EVERYONE deserves to live in a home that's sage, comfortable, affordable, and rodent-free! #cbasummit

How can anyone afford to stay in a place where rent is 75% of their income? #cbasummit

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

We want to stay in the 'hood!

How can seniors like Linda Jennings afford to own homes in South Shore when HOA fees, property taxes, and mortgages are rising exponentially?

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

Seniors are being forced to move out of their condo buildings when they're sold to people outside of the community - we need more cash to keep us out of housing instability, for both renters and owners!

[Coalition for a CBA @ObamaCBA]

Linda Jennings has been living in South Shore for 64 years - she and her fellow homeowners are struggling more and more with rising property taxes, HOA fees, and compliance with city regulations
