A Better Path Forward

Help us advocate for a better solution to tent encampments and fight HB-1429.

Restore Gompers Park Coalition believes in compassionate, effective solutions that balance dignity with public safety. We have been campaigning elected officials for tiny home villages on vacant tracts of government owned land similar to “The Bridge” tiny home village being successfully executed now in Bloomington, IL. The Bridge

We have partnered with a Chicago engineering firm that has already developed SRO plans for fully contained units which provide bathroom, kitchen and sleeping quarters. These plans have been shared with the Mayor’s office, Chicago Parks CEO Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, Parks Commissioners, and heads of DFSS and former Chief Homelessness Officer Sendy Soto.

We will continue to champion this dignified, safe and humane approach to interim affordable housing where mental health and addiction counseling and case worker support can be offered in one location.
