A coalition of the community and families gathered once again to demand affordable housing from the city.
The 13th annual Las Posadas for Public and Affordable Housing rally marched through the Northwest Side community Saturday morning. It is an effort organized by the Logan Square Ecumenical Alliance.
“This is a group of pastors and faith communities who have doing actions like this for years because the fight to get public and affordable housing in our neighborhood goes on,” said Pastor Erin Coleman Branchaud with St. Luke Church of Logan Square.
Members of the group accuse the CHA of allowing usable properties to fall into disrepair instead of renovating them and renting them to families languishing on wait lists.
