Landlord Programs
The landlord association and resource center are the newest programs at Spanish Coalition for Housing.
Most of the landlords that participate are low-income owners of small buildings. These landlords need assistance and education in order to be good landlords and neighbors. Currently, there is no dedicated staff or resources for this program, but SCH sees the value of this program and the workload is shared by several staff and volunteers.
Chicagoland Bilingual Landlord Association
After years of being victims of discrimination in rentals and home purchasing, landlords have joined forces with the Spanish Coalition for Housing to form the first Chicagoland Bilingual Landlord Association (CBLA). Through the Chicago-land Bilingual Landlord Association (CBLA), staffed by SCH, low-to-moderate income landlords become educated and empowered to better manage their properties by applying their rights and responsibilities as owners and provide families with safe, decent and affordable rental units. Spanish Coalition for Housing recruits landlords and builds membership for the formation of the association. The goal of the association is to provide assistance to low-to-moderate income people who want to become responsible home and property owners. Informed landlords will help improve the existing housing stock and create better neighborhoods. SCH facilitates a variety of services including matching landlords with Housing Choice Voucher recipients.
