The Homes for All Ordinance will make our city's public housing system work.  The Homes for All Ordinance will require that all public housing units are preserved on a one-for-one apartment basis in any future redevelopment of public housing, and that family sized housing (not just studios and one-bedrooms) are produced by the CHA as it rebuilds.  The Homes for All Ordinance protects public housing land for public housing purposes.  It mandates that at least 20% of future public housing units get sited in high-wealth, high-opportunity neighborhoods in Chicago and streamlines the approval process for affordable family housing in high-wealth neighborhoods that have historically blocked the creation of affordable family housing to ensure the City Council offers transparent, evidence-based, and timely consideration on affordable housing proposed for areas that have little to none.

​

The Development for All Ordinance will ensure the inclusion of affordable housing for working families in all 50 wards. The Development for All Ordinance ends fatal loopholes in the existing Affordable Requirements Ordinance (ARO) that have undermined the production of affordable housing in high-rent and gentrifying areas.  The Development for All Ordinance ends the practice of developer's "opting out" of affordable housing and paying an "in lieu of fee" instead.  It also raises the floor to establish a new 30% set-aside requirement of new units a developer seeks upzoning approval from the City to build in high-rent and gentrifying census tracts, and a floor of 20% in moderate-rent census tracts.  Finally, the Development for All Ordinance drops the rent of an "affordable" apartment down to what working families, families of color, people with disabilities and seniors can truly afford (with a new tiered rent structure for the required affordable units that caps rents for set-aside apartments at between $250-$970 for a 3-bedroom apartment, and mandates the production of family-sized affordable housing units (e.g., 3 bedrooms).
