CLIHTF 2026 Fundraising Drive

CLIHTF’s 2026 Fundraising Drive culminated in a highly successful 2026 Annual Gala, bringing together supporters, partners, and community leaders for an inspiring celebration of impact, partnership, and purpose. The Gala highlighted the collective commitment to housing stability across Chicago and demonstrated the strength of the community standing behind our mission.

While the event was a tremendous success, we have not yet reached our overall fundraising goal. Every contribution made through the 2026 Fundraising Drive directly supports safe, affordable housing and strengthens the resources that help individuals and families remain rooted in their homes and neighborhoods. The generosity shown thus far has already made a meaningful difference, but additional support is needed to fully achieve the campaign’s objectives.

As we continue this effort beyond the Gala, we invite supporters, partners, and friends of CLIHTF to help close the remaining gap. Each gift brings us closer to our goal and expands our ability to create lasting impact for Chicagoans by advancing access to stable, affordable housing. Together, we can build on the momentum of a successful Gala season and ensure that even more residents have the opportunity to thrive in safe and stable homes.

June Landlord of the Month

The Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund is proud to recognize Gilda Williams as our June Landlord of the Month. Gilda has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to supporting her tenant while maintaining the high standards of compliance that are essential to the success of our program. She consistently stays on top of documentation requirements and takes the time to ensure her tenant receives accurate information and guidance. Her proactive approach helps prevent issues before they arise and contributes to long-term housing stability.

At the Trust Fund, we value landlords who view themselves as partners in preserving affordable housing, and Gilda exemplifies that spirit. Landlords who prioritize communication, remain engaged in the compliance process, and advocate for their tenants help create positive outcomes for everyone involved. Gilda's dedication to keeping her tenant informed and housed securely is exactly the kind of partnership we strive to foster throughout our network. We are grateful for her commitment and proud to celebrate her contributions this month.
