Advocating for Fair & Affordable Housing

LUCHA advocates for the enforcement of tenants’ rights and the preservation of affordable housing in the Chicago area. We partner with community organizations, elected officials, and community members to support policies that further fair housing.

Healthy & Resilient Communities

LUCHA recognizes that the health and wellness of residents is an essential part of neighborhood stability. We are committed to promoting place-based wellness through holistic community programming.

Resident Engagement & Community Programming

LUCHA programming creates spaces for residents and organizations to strengthen the ties which make Chicago a city of neighborhoods – whether it’s a family bike day, sidewalk celebration, or street festival. Check our upcoming events for more information.

LUCHA’S BUILDING DEVELOPMENT WORK

LUCHA believes everyone deserves to live in vibrant, thriving communities. Since breaking ground on our first development in the 1980’s, we continue building homes today which push the envelope on innovative design and integrate affordability.
