This new ordinance is a powerful display of how we can put people, not profit, at the center of our housing system — in Chicago, and across the country! ✊🌱🏘���

When it comes to addressing the roots of our housing crisis, community control is key. In Chicago, new social housing developments will have tenant governance committees where residents can raise concerns, make recommendations, and request reviews of their property managers.

This is such an important win right now as the Trump regime cuts federal funding to affordable housing programs and landlords continue to jack up our rents. We need community-driven solutions like this, especially ones that help people take more control of their housing future.
