Racial Equity and Real Estate Conversations: Empowering Latino Homeowners

The Cook County Assessor’s Office, in partnership with Richard J. Daley City College of Chicago, celebrates Hispanic Heritage month with a Racial Equity & Real Estate Conversation centered on the Latinx community.

Building upon last year’s theme of Advancing Latino Homeownership, this year’s theme of Empowering Latino Homeowners aims to bring a powerful discussion on housing policy, immigration, building generational wealth, and property tax reform. 

Through our panel discussion and workshops, we are hoping to provide current homeowners with the information and tools needed to sustain their homeownership journey.
