Hey Neighbor!
We’re happy you’re here. How can we help you today?
Frequently Asked Questions
“What is your office doing to assist unhoused people in the 46th Ward?”
Our office understands the complex nature of being unhoused and the effects it has on our community. We carry lots of resources in our office with information on city and community resources that may help people find and maintain their housing. We also host a houseless neighbor picnic on the first Wednesday of every month to connect those living in Clarendon, Lincoln, and Margate parks and throughout the neighborhood with housing resources so that they can find a home as soon as possible. If you or someone you know is unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused, click the above buttons to see our online resources, or contact our office directly with any questions so that we can refer you to the best resources.

“What kind of housing policy does your office support?”
The 46th Ward is home to lots of historic, deeply affordable, and legacy social housing, and our office not only wants to maintain, but expand on the affordable housing we still have. In the past our office has supported, reinvested, or facilitated:
The Green Social Housing Ordinance
Single Room Occupancy housing (i.e. the Leland Apartment Hotel)
Expansion and protection of the Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance
