Homelessness in Chicago: A Crisis of Disproportionate Impact
Introduction to the Challenge
Chicago is grappling with a homelessness crisis that disproportionately affects Black and Latino populations. This issue is deeply rooted in systemic racism and inequality, with Black residents experiencing homelessness at rates more than double the national average. It’s time to address the root causes and work towards a more equitable solution.
Community-Led Solutions
Organizations like the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness are leading efforts to address homelessness through community-driven initiatives. These include advocating for policy changes and promoting equitable housing policies. By centering the voices of those most impacted, these initiatives aim to create sustainable solutions.
Aligning with Black Pages International
