Keeping the Promise of Harold L. Ickes Homes, the fight to return housing at the Ickes.

The Issue

The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) promised former residents of Harold L. Ickes Homes affordable housing over 15 years ago. Nothing has happened since the 2009 original CHA promise, and the community has remained displaced. Recently, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and CHA have proposed building a high school on the land promised to the Ickes residents over a decade ago. The residency had over 1,008 units of public housing. CHA was developed to help those in need, and they should keep their promise! Housing is a human right! 


Please sign this petition to show your opposition to building a high school at the Ickes site and your support for the affordable housing they were promised.
