Since 2003, the Affordable Housing Planning & Appeal Act (AHPAA) has called on @ILHousing to catalog the municipalities where less than 10% of homes are deemed affordable. Here's a handy map of the 44 towns where that's the case: ihda.maps.arcgis.com/apps/in… (2/7)

We teamed up with our member First State Bank to support the city of Mendota’s housing stock survey—part of a program through @IlHousing, designed to bring affordable senior housing to the community. It was a great day collaborating for a meaningful impact!

Thanks for writing in, Katie. SmartBuy Illinois has allowed her and others to be able to afford owning a home here in our state, all while helping pay off their student loan debt. We're bridging the financial gap and lowering costs for thousands of families.

Today's dedication of 1203 N Calif. Ave to Puerto Rican attorney and politician Pedro Albizu Campos was momentous. The 64 family-sized apartment building in the heart of Humboldt Park couldn't have a better story. @HHDEVCORP @ChicagosMayor @Ward26Chicago @ILHousing @theCHAtweets
