Subject: Support Bring Chicago Home

Message:

As your constituent, I believe Chicago must do more to reduce homelessness in our city. More than 86,000 Chicagoans are experiencing homelessness - and one in every four of them is a child struggling to stay in school. Chicago can't get back on the right track unless we get serious about solving this problem. That's why I am personally asking you to push Mayor Lori Lightfoot to work with State Legislators and the Bring Chicago Home Coalition to make a significant investment to house people experiencing homelessness. There is a win-win solution on the table. By decreasing the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) on properties sold for less than $1 million, and raising it on properties sold over $1 million, we can generate revenue to help address the budget deficit AND homelessness. The lack of quality affordable housing underpins many of the issues in our city. By ensuring families have a roof over their head, we are not only doing the right thing, but we are making our communities more accessible, safer and equitable. With your support, we can Bring Chicago Home. More than 77% of Chicagoans believe that addressing homelessness should be a higher priority. The time to act is now. If you are already a supporter of Bring Chicago Home, thank you for your support.
