We are co-hosting a memorial for our neighbors who have died while experiencing homelessness or housing precarity on Sunday, December 21 at 4PM, the longest night of the year. Please join us as we light candles and remember these members of our communities.

Please plan to join us Monday for an orientation session to learn more about our organization and advocacy work for bringing affordable housing to the Far NWS.

We’ll also share updates on current & upcoming activities. Time: 6:30 - 7:30 pm at Friendship Community Place, 5150 N Northwest Hwy.

“The Case for Reparations” is a critically-acclaimed article on housing discrimination & its devastating effects on the Black community, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and published in The Atlantic in 2014.

The National Public Housing Museum, opening April 4, will showcase resident stories and memorabilia through immersive exhibits in the former Jane Addams Homes on the Near West Side.

On April 6, meet local elected officials and advocacy organizations, including Neighbors for Affordable Housing, and learn how to take action to defend our democracy & fight back against the destructive acts of the current administration (including damaging defunding of critical housing resources).

Join us tomorrow, March 12th, 6:30 pm, for the final episode of Shame of the Nation, Shame of Chicago - “We’ve Found the Enemy and It’s Not Us”.

This is more than just a documentary series. It’s an urgent educational tool that will open eyes, join hearts, spark debate, and inspire action.

“Now is not the time to hamstring the federal agency we need to help us deal with rising rents and to expand the supply of housing. Illinois residents and our elected officials must stand up for HUD and tell Congress to reject HUD cuts and staff terminations.”

Federal housing programs that keep people in stable homes are under attack. The press reports that the Trump Admin is expected to terminate half of all employees at HUD. 📣 Contact IL legislators TODAY & demand they protect HUD staff & programs: housingactionil.salsalabs.org/2025federala...
