Yesterday the Here To Stay Community Land Trust had a ribbon cutting ceremony to welcome its very first homeowners! CCL is committed to continued partnership with @sc4housing, @LUCHA_Chicago & @PalenqueLSNA as we work together against displacement! Congrats Grisel & Jonathan 🎉

Many congrats to @BickerdikeRC on their new affordable housing development! This project sets a high standard for equitable, transit-oriented development, creates 100 new homes in Logan Square, in the face of displacement and gentrification. Amazing! #celebrateemmett

We are so pleased to have the support of Congressman Garcia! Affordable housing is a human right and it is vital that our budgets reflect that. Congratulations to the other great organizations that will also get to move forward on their work for their communities.

I am proud to announce that I will be bringing $10.6 Million back to the 4th District! From expanding mental health services, healthcare, to affordable housing these investments support underserved areas and make a real difference in the lives of the working families I represent!

We are always thrilled to welcome more affordable housing into the neighborhood. Congratulations to the Puerto Rican Cultural Center and thank you for bringing this project to life in Humboldt Park.

So proud and pleased to have watched @GovPritzker sign the omnibus affordable housing bill this morning. @WillGuzzardi reminded us that we still have a ways to go before housing is truly a human right, but with champions like him and @Delia4StateRep, we know we'll get there.

If you have not already, check out @Suntimes's article about some of #HumboldtPark's murals, including Rompiendo Cadenas, which is on one of LUCHA's Borinquen Bella buildings. chicago.suntimes.com/murals-…

Humboldt Park murals might be the city’s oldest, but their messages remain relevant

Painted 50 years ago, they still reflect people’s hopes and struggles, heritage and resistance, particularly of the Puerto Rican community, mural expert Jeff W. Huebner writes.
