Housing affordability was a key concern in Gov. Pritzker’s budget address. We want to know what his solutions will look like, and if Chicago thinks they’ll work.
Gov. JB Pritzker’s proposed BUILD program aims to decrease the cost of homebuying by increasing the amount of available housing across the state. While some housing initiatives like Housing Action Illinois are in full support, others like the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness believe that the budget is leaving them in the dust.
On today’s In the Loop, we get both perspectives, and discuss how the governor’s budget could impact housing affordability.
GUESTS:
Bob Palmer, policy director, Housing Action Illinois
Doug Schenkelberg, executive director of the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness
