Are you a local leader or concerned resident grappling with rising housing costs in your community? An employer struggling to attract workers and reduce their commutes? A developer attempting to address the demand by building quality homes at affordable prices?
If so, you may benefit from a new 12-minute video, "Welcome Home: Housing Our Community," released by the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus and Metropolitan Planning Council. It's now available at www.metroplanning.org.
Produced by the Chicago Video Project, narrated by Bill Kurtis, and informed by lessons learned from Housing Illinois, "Welcome Home: Housing Our Community" expedites local policy discussions by showcasing local solutions. In the video, area mayors, developers, residents, and employers underscore the value of quality housing options, and shed light on supply and demand issues throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan region.
If you would like to receive a hard copy of the video on CD, or are interested in a presentation related to the housing issues described in "Welcome Home," please contact Metropolitan Planning Council Housing Associate Joanna Trotter at
