Beyond the Ballot: Moving Forward After the Referendum

While we are disappointed by the outcome of the Bring Chicago Home Referendum, our commitment to addressing homelessness in our city remains unwavering. Though the referendum did not pass, it has sparked vital conversations, brought many new voices to the table, and raised awareness about the urgent need for affordable housing and support services for people experiencing homelessness across Chicagoland. 

The result of this referendum underscores the complexities of homelessness and the challenges we face in addressing its causes. But it also serves as a reminder of the importance of continued advocacy and collaboration in finding solutions. Regardless of how you voted, we invite you to work together with us and others as we continue the work toward ending homelessness. 

We remain committed in our efforts to find and support innovative ways to ensure every member of our community has access to safe and stable housing.
