Sun-Times Article Explains the Impact of ICE Activities on Local Housing Providers
Hear the Voice and Learn of the Concerns of Responsible Neighborhood Housing Providers
Dear Neighborhood Housing Industry Colleagues and Friends; 
If you are like me, you are closely following the recent activities of the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) and their detention and deportation of people they suspect of being undocumented. Opinions may vary as to the legitimacy of these actions and the appropriateness of the methods used to carry them out, but one thing is for certain. ICE is engendering fear among large segments of our population, including those who are in our nation legally.
This in turn has affected our ability to operate multifamily housing and serve our residents. Many of our tenants are afraid to leave their apartments and many of our employees and contractors are afraid to work at our buildings.
The Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday published a front-page story exploring this issue from the perspective of several of our members.
Given that these policies may remain in effect throughout the duration of the Trump Administration, and possibly beyond, it’s important for us all to consider the impact of ICE’s enforcement policies on our industry. Chicago is a city of immigrants, in various stages of documentation, and our industry serves those communities and often relies on those communities to maintain and work on our properties.
What impact do these enforcement actions have on neighborhood housing, especially at a time when all stakeholders are seeking ways to create more quality affordable housing?

At the reporter’s request, the NBOA connected her with housing providers who could speak about these issues from their personal experience. We thank these housing providers for sharing their stories. Clearly, current immigration enforcement policies are substantially affecting us as owners and managers, as well as our staff and our tenants.
Please take the time to read this Sun-Times account and think about the questions it raises.
How do these policies affect our operations?
How do these policies affect the people who work for us and with us?
How do these policies affect our residents?
Should we respond, and, if so, how?

Legislative update: Jackson Park Housing Pilot Ordinance and Dep’t of Housing Hearings on Right of First Refusal
Dear Neighborhood Housing Industry Colleagues and Friends; Despite the best efforts of the NBOA and its industry partners, Chicago’s City Council last week enacted the Jackson Park Housing Pilot Program Ordinance. A key component of this ordinance is a Tenant Opportunity to Purchase (Right of First Refusal) program for the City’s Jackson Park and South Shore neighborhoods. It is similar to the Tenant Right of First Refusal “pilot program,” which the Council enacted for several Northwest Side neighborhoods last year. Though the Jackson Park pilot program passed over our objections, the NBOA and its industry partners successfully convinced the aldermen to hold hearings on the impact of these Right of First Refusal programs on homeowners, housing providers, and tenants. These hearings will provide an opportunity to highlight the many flaws in the ordinances, hopefully leading to necessary reforms or their outright repeal. We expect that the first hearing will occur in mid to late October.
Resolution for Hearings on Right of First Refusal Groups that will have equal time to present at these hearings include: - Organizations representing title companies.
- Organizations representing real estate agents and professionals.
- Organizations representing property owners and housing providers.
- Organizations representing tenant right groups and tenant unions; and
- Organizations representing buyers and sellers of real estate impacted by these types of tenant right of first refusal pilot programs.
We are specifically seeking testimony from property owners who have been impacted by these Right of First Refusal ordinances. If you have experienced a canceled transaction or a loss of equity due to these programs, we encourage you to come forward. We are looking for evidence to demonstrate that the tenant right of first refusal programs are failed policies that require amendment or repeal. Click HERE to share your story – we will keep your identify and information confidential until and unless we receive your approval to use it. (Alternatively, you can send us your story via EMAIL.)
When City policymakers do not engage with housing providers, it leads to flawed housing policy. Conversely, involving housing providers in their deliberations can result in better housing policy for our communities.
We look forward to a productive dialogue with all parties involved and to fostering a healthier environment for neighborhood housing.
Sincerely,
Michael Glasser
NBOA President

Jackson Park Pilot Ordinance Passes Out of Housing Committee; May Move to Full City Council Tomorrow (TH)
Dear Neighborhood Housing Industry Colleagues and Friends; Today the City Council Housing Committee passed the Jackson Park Housing Pilot Ordinance. The 28 page measure was not shared with the industry—nor with the committee—until yesterday afternoon. The full City Council will consider the proposed ordinance tomorrow, at which time it could vote the measure into law. The measure applies to a specific geographic area in South Shore and in Woodlawn, as shown on this map.
The ordinance would create (within the designated area) an opportunity to purchase (right of first refusal) when a building is sold, similar to the Northwest Side Preservation Ordinance. It expands a “fair notice” provision requiring up to 180-days’ notice if a resident of three years or more is non-renewed. On a potentially better note, the ordinance also creates a fund for property tax relief for owners and another fund to support rehab work in buildings of four or fewer units. We will continue to update you as we and our industry partners strive to achieve the best outcome, and reach out to you for assistance as needed. Thanks to all of you who responded to our Call to Action late in the day yesterday.

Urgent – Call to Action on Consequential Ordinance
We urge housing providers & all RE Professionals to take action before 9AM Wed prior to Housing Committee meeting
Dear NBOA Colleagues and Friends; We need you to act right away. The Housing Committee of Chicago’s City Council is scheduled to vote on an ordinance that would give residents in the 5th Ward a right of first refusal. But it goes far beyond that and includes a Just Cause Eviction provision, requires thousands of dollars in relocation assistance for tenants whose leases are not renewed, and expanded notice requirements.
Jackson Park Housing Pilot Ordinance
Details of the proposed 27 page ordinance were not made public until late in the afternoon on the day before the vote —on a Jewish high holiday when many people are not working.
The Committee is scheduled to meet tomorrow (Wednesday September 24) at 11 am, and Ald. Yancy says he will be pushing for a vote on the ordinance at that meeting. This means the ordinance could be considered by the City Council as soon as Thursday September 25, when it is scheduled to meet—less than two (2) days from today.
CLICK BELOW to urge the members of the Housing Committee to delay a vote on this complex far-reaching measure until we examine the ordinance and fully understand its implications. Please edit the letter to make it your own! (Perhaps ask if they agree that its bad government to hurriedly push through a consequential ordinance without first providing sufficient notice to important stakeholders.)
This proposed ordinance should be of immense concern to all housing providers and other real estate professionals throughout Chicago.
Please act now. Members of the committee need to hear from you by tomorrow morning.
Your call to action will go to all 19 members of the City Council Housing Committee, chaired by Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez.
CALL TO ACTION TO ALDERS ON THE HOUSING COMMITTEE Please devote a few minutes to this important issue right now and, if you cannot do it now, please do so before 9AM tomorrow (Wed) morning. We appreciate your support.
