Neighborhood housing depends on neighborhood housing providers.
Housing policy only works with the involvement of housing providers.
The Neighborhood Building Owners Alliance (NBOA) is the voice of neighborhood housing in Chicago. It represents Chicago’s small and mid-sized housing providers, most of whom live, hire and buy supplies in the communities they serve.

The NBOA serves the members of its nine community building owner affiliates. Like those affiliates, the NBOA is a forum for information, professional development and networking.
In addition, the NBOA advocates on behalf of small and mid-sized housing providers. Its team of professionals works to tell the story of neighborhood housing in the media, and to lobby public officials to ensure housing providers are part of housing policy.

Make your voice heard!
If you are interested in helping our public officials learn about neighborhood housing, please reach out to us at info@nboaochicago.com. We have an important story to tell and we could use your help.
NBOA has created a task force issues pertaining to rent control, which is likely to be under consideration in the General Assembly in the coming months.
The NBOA has also created a PAC to support public figures whose positions we agree with. Join us in our effort to support those politicians who support neighborhood housing.
Advocacy
Now, more than ever, it’s important for all voices to be heard. We work with our members to understand all points of view and educate city officials on our discoveries and perspectives.
Educational Opportunities
We find opportunities to gather owners, developers and their potential counterparts to keep them abreast of new legislation, trends. and partnerships on the horizon.
Strategy & Planning
Rather than working on an individual basis or in small groups, we gather information from all our partners to build strategic positions that mitigate ineffective rules & regulations.
