Affordable housing advocates are urging Chicagoans to read and sign their online letter to Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
In the body of the letter penned to Lightfoot, the Bring Chicago Home (BCH) coalition asks that she join their demonstration at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 3 at 110 N. Wacker Dr.
They are also asking that the mayor support their ballot measure that would ask Chicago voters if the city should increase the real estate transfer tax for buyers who purchase residential or commercial properties for more than $1 million, and redirect those funds from the city toward efforts to combat homelessness.
Chicago Coalition for the Homeless is now Chicago Coalition to end Homelessness (CCH).
