Empower. Protect. Advance.

LCBH is Chicago’s only legal-aid organization that focuses solely on housing justice issues. When you give to LCBH, you join the movement to make Chicago’s eviction process more equitable. 

Dear Friend, 

Chicago eviction filings are back to pre-pandemic levels of 20,000 annually. This is alarming, but with your generosity, LCBH will be ready to respond.

Your confidence in our programs is what makes me so optimistic for the future. 

When you give to LCBH, you join the movement to make Chicago’s eviction process more equitable for renters like John, who was hospitalized and missed his rent payment last year.  John’s landlord filed an eviction against him one day before his disability check arrived, which would’ve covered his rent. LCBH took John’s case through the Right to Counsel Pilot Program. John’s attorney sealed the eviction record and negotiated a 90-day move out, giving John enough time to secure safe, stable housing. 

Thank you for joining us in the campaign for renters’ rights. An anonymous donor will match any new or increased donations up to $5,000! Give today and double your impact!  

Sincerely, 

Mark Swartz, Executive Director
