Facing an eviction? Tenant or Landlord challenges? Do you need an attorney for a home purchase? In this episode, I sit down with Raisa Alicea, Staff Attorney with LUCHA’s Community Law Program, to talk about housing rights and legal resources available to renters, homeowners, and home buyers in Chicago.

Many people don’t learn their housing rights until they’re already facing a crisis. In this conversation, Raisa explains how LUCHA works to prevent that by providing legal counseling, eviction diversion services, landlord-tenant negotiations, and real estate closing support for families across the Chicago region.

We discuss how organizations like LUCHA help families stay in their homes and regain stability.

If you rent, own, or plan to buy property in Chicago, this episode is packed with valuable information about your rights and the resources available to help you move ahead with confidence.
