It's a pattern we've seen repeated over decades across Chicago: Years of home ownership and careful nurturing of a neighborhood’s culture and identity — often by people of color and low-income residents — attract high-end developers with deep pockets and affluent buyers who send housing prices soaring. But heightened awareness of the threats of displacement have empowered activists and community-based organizations to fight for equitable investment.

Join us for our next Public Newsroom where housing experts will share insights and offer suggestions on how community members can make their voices heard.
