Everyone has a:

- Right to housing: a safe home that meets their needs

- Right to opportunity: high-quality jobs, services, schools, and other public resources close to home

- Right to affordability: a home that costs no more than 25% of your income

That’s what we fight for.

We'll go first:

An unexpectedly effective platform for finding folks who are primed to plug in IRL to pro-housing advocacy is Reddit 👀

One of our @abundanthousingil.bsky.social volunteer leaders just dropped a guest blog on how to optimize there 👇

@warren.senate.gov gets it! We need more leaders at all levels of government to get on board with more housing options for families!

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are the underrated pro-housing tool we want to shout out today!

Our new guest blog by Juan Castillo is a great resource for anyone who is unfamiliar with ADUs to explain why they're so important and how we can get more built!

Chicago City Council will vote on legalizing ADUs citywide this Thursday!

Call your alder and let them know we need incremental housing solutions like ADUs to tackle our housing shortage and support Chicago families.
