Last week we held our second annual Housing Access and Inclusion Fair. Attendees were able to receive information on property tax savings, and also meet with various community partners who shared vital services and information to assist in their homeownership journey. Information and services for homeowners should be accessible to all. We are committed to supporting homeowners and providing clear, inclusive, and accessible information.

Thank you to the 's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) and Chicago Department of Housing (DOH) for being such wonderful partners.

Our office presented yet another inspiring conversation for our Racial Equity and Real Estate series. This event was our first AAPI focused discussion in the beautiful Bridgeport community. The intimate dialogue explored history, affordable housing, and advocacy shaping the AAPI community. Thank you to our stellar panelists who presented a wealth of knowledge: Alderwoman Nicole Lee, Tommy Choi, Kaskyap Trivedi, and Grace Chan McKibben. Our panel ended with a little historical fun as Cleo Aquino shared the culture of the renowned game of Mahjong. A heartfelt thank you to our gracious host, Bridgeport Queen Miss Maria, and her son Ed for welcoming us to the historic Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar. Your hospitality helped make this evening of connection and learning a memorable experience for all.
