Event: Unlocking Our Potential: Discussing Housing Reform in Chicago
YIMBY mog unaffordable rents & property taxes? The housing policy trade-offs? Panel experts, candidates and elected officials talk it out.
Chicago is at a crossroads. Between rising rents, property taxes, and a housing market in crisis, the "City that Works" needs solutions that actually work in practice, not just in theory.
Join the Chicago Growth Project on June 14th for a transparent, deep-dive panel and moderated discussion forum on the housing policies shaping our city’s future. We aren’t just talking about the "what", we’re discussing the "how." This forum brings together a rare mix of Chicagoland city, county, state, and federal officials alongside advocates and experts who live and breathe housing policy in the city.
Confirmed Speakers
We are pleased to announce the first wave of confirmed panelists for our housing policy discussion. Our lineup features leaders from the federal, state, and local levels who are directly involved in the future of Chicago’s growth:
Congressman Mike Quigley
State Senator Sara Feigenholtz
Drake Warren, Cook County Commissioner Candidate
Paul Kendrick, State Representative Candidate
We will be announcing more panelists in the coming weeks!
Why Attend?
Whether you are a renter, homeowner, policy professional, housing advocate, real estate stakeholder, or a concerned Chicagoland resident, this is your chance to hear from a wide array of perspectives in one room. We aim to move the needle from "housing crisis" to "housing action" by identifying where our goals overlap and where our policies need to evolve.
