Chicago 's Obama Center's neighbors pack a high school gym to press Mayor Brandon Johnson about his support.
The mayor pledged support to prevent displacement of residents near the center.
But an ambitious, multimillion-dollar package of new programs for South Shore has been idling in the council’s Housing Committee since October .
The ordinance’s main sponsor, aldermen Greg Mitchell and Michelle Harris , have not backed the proposal.
Yancy: “Frankly, this is a fight for the soul of South Shore . It's not just about affordable housing,” he said.
Mitchell , who is the vice chair of the Housing Committee where the ordinance is currently stalled, declined to discuss it.
Yancy ’s ordinance calls for a raft of new programs and protections for residents costing tens of millions of dollars .
The ordinance would: — Create a registry of rental properties at the city level.
Ban move-in fees, cap rental application fees and security deposits.
Grant $12 million to rehab existing vacant homes and $20 million for longtime homeowners.
