The Preservation Compact

The Preservation Compact:  A Rental Housing Strategy for Cook County



The Preservation Compact brings together the region's public, private and nonprofit leaders to address the loss of affordable rental housing stock in Cook County.

Guided by ULI Chicago with support from The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Compact has launched a comprehensive Rental Housing Action Plan for Cook County, which includes six Keystone Initiatives designed to preserve and improve existing affordable rental homes that might otherwise be lost to condominium conversion, demolition, or rising costs.

For more information, contact Christine Kolb, Director of Community Outreach and Preservation Compact Coordinator, ULI Chicago at 773-549-2655.
