July Landlord of the Month:

Dr. Chandra Chela Chomicki

We’re proud to recognize Dr. Chandra Chela Chomicki as The Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund’s July Landlord of the Month. Together with her husband, Dr. Chomicki has shown an unwavering commitment to providing quality housing to those who need it most. Their dedication goes far beyond the basics of property management—they truly believe that housing stability is the foundation for overall life stability, and they work every day to make that belief a reality for their tenants.

The Chomickis are more than landlords—they are community advocates who care deeply about the well-being of those they serve. They are known for going the extra mile to communicate openly and consistently with tenants, creating a sense of trust and mutual respect. This intentional relationship-building has not gone unnoticed—many of their tenants have expressed heartfelt appreciation for the way they are treated, not just as renters, but as people.

In addition to their work as housing providers, Dr. Chomicki and her husband are passionate about sharing their knowledge and encouraging others to see the possibilities of homeownership and becoming landlords themselves. They believe in creating pathways for families to build lasting legacies through stable housing and real estate, helping to strengthen communities for generations to come.

Their compassion, vision, and commitment to excellence embody the values of CLIHTF, and we’re honored to spotlight them this month.
