About NBOA

We are the voice of the neighborhood housing industry.

We lift up voices of housing providers who live in their communities, shop in their communities and hire in their communities: people who have a unique ability to help public officials understand our industry.

The NBOA serves the members of its 11 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.

Chicago Tribune Editorial Blasts City’s Proposed RLTO Revision

“Putting small housing providers out of business will not help Chicago’s shortage of affordable places to live”

The NBOA met with the editorial board of the Tribune, and the result was a resounding denunciation of the City’s proposal. “Only a fool would make it impossible for landlords to make ends meet at a time of housing scarcity. Talk about counterproductive.” “Instead of this punitive plan, Chicago should focus on the urgent need for more residential construction in order to alleviate the supply-and-demand imbalance that is helping to raise rents for the roughly 54% of city households that don’t own the roof over their heads.”

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 public officials on our discoveries and perspectives.
