Bring Chicago Home Campaign Releases Open Endorsement Letter from 100+ Faith Leaders

Faith Leaders Rally at Early Voting Site to Endorse Bring Chicago Home and Call on Chicagoans to Vote YES on Ballot Question 1

CHICAGO – With just over a month before the March 19th primary election, prominent Chicago faith leaders will today release a letter–signed by over 100 religious leaders–endorsing the Bring Chicago Home campaign to restructure the Real Estate Transfer Tax to fund homelessness.

“Bring Chicago Home proposes a visionary step toward addressing the homelessness crisis by creating a dedicated revenue stream for housing construction, rental subsidies, and essential services. As someone who grew up in the proud legacy of Chicago’s Black church, I know we can get this done by galvanizing ALL of Chicago,” said Bring Chicago Home Political Director Vaughn Roland. “Today we announce support from over 100 faith leaders representing various religions, communities and ethnicities who have signed our joint letter urging Chicago to vote YES on Ballot Question 1. Through the unity of these faith leaders across the city of Chicago we stand together in solidarity. We have the power to raise over $100 million annually to fund affordable housing and support services, ensuring that those in dire need find refuge and hope.”
