JASC

Hi, X! We’re back with some exciting news! Jane Addams Senior Caucus has recently completed a merger with @TenantEdNetwork , a Chicago-based organization fighting for the rights and dignity of Project Based Section 8 tenants.

Security should extend past midnight. After car windows were smashed and a recent shooting took place onsite, the Damen Court Tenants Association collected signatures and delivered a petition to management demanding extended security hours. #HousingJustice #TenantRights

🎉 TENANT VICTORY 🎉 For almost 4 years Ms. F had cracked floors in her kitchen and carpeting she had to constantly wash. With JASC's support, she reported her issue using our new Form, and got new flooring put in across her whole apartment. #HousingJustice #TenantRights

Congrats to Ellis Lakeview Tenants Leaders. We continue to train our leaders and neighbors on using JASC's unique webapp to document and report issues. On this day, Ms M and Mr E helped 5 tenants rapidly document multiple unit issues and email management, leading to quick repairs

Tenant Governance in Action: Congratulations Crestwood Tenant Association on their first fully self-organized building meeting! #HousingJustice #CommunityEmpowerment #TenantRights

Over a dozen tenants at Lakeside Towers utilized JASC's webapp to document and report the lack of pest control as well as email their demand for routine pest control. The very next week tenants received notices that eachfloor would receive comprehensive pest control every 2 weeks

Crestwood Tenant Association is still in the fight and we will not let them knock us out! Are you with us? Follow along on social media and our newsletter so you won't miss a round! #HousingJustice #CommunityEmpowerment #TenantRights

The deeper you look into the housing system, the more twisted the web gets. At Jane Addams Senior Caucus, we’re working to untangle this web and hold those responsible accountable. Read the article from @trdny for just a sneak peek of our work. therealdeal.com/chicago/2026…

🎉 Tenant leaders from across the state came together this weekend, and the energy said it all. This is what it looks like when tenants don't just show up to organizing, they lead it. This is just the beginning. 💪 #TenantPower #TenantGovernance

Ms. C is not backing down! She is calling on Mayor Johnson and the DoH to intervene and ensure she is able to recertify! #HousingJustice #CommunityEmpowerment #TenantRights #CommunitySupport

🔔 CAMPAIGN UPDATE 🔔 Inadequate relocation, egregious conditions and evidence of deficient asbestos abatement was finally discussed with Essence Development and elected officials. A clean plan moving forward and reimbursement for tenants were secured! #HousingJustice

Emails sent and victories to come! Tenant Leaders and JASC hit the doors at lakeside Towers to train tenants on how to use our webapp to document and report their issues! #HousingJustice #CommunityEmpowerment #TenantRights

“If we don’t get housing right, we don’t get nothing right.” DO NOT LEAVE SENIORS BEHIND. Everyone deserves to age with dignity and respect, not to live in a home where they have to “rely on the kindness of their neighbor to take a bath.” #HousingJustice #TenantRights

Another successful Office Hours with our Social Work team and the tenants of Crestwood Apartments! ❤️ At JASC, we believe in whole-tenant organizing: where tenants are not just renters. They are whole people, and they deserve to be supported in the fullness of their humanity.
