Halloween theme clothing suggested! Feel free to bring snacks of your own! Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Join us for an upcoming affordable housing workshop presented by The Actors Fund! Two dates and two locations are taking place.

This FREE and informative workshop, designed for the entertainment community and arts workers, will help you better understand what constitutes affordable housing, how it works, and how to help you get prepared to search and apply.

Entertainment industry professionals often have episodic and fluctuating income from several sources, and this seminar will explore different methods to calculate and verify annual household income to help you put your best foot forward when applying.

Also discussed will be an overview of affordable housing programs, historical context for housing in Chicago, information on the Chicago Housing Plan and housing opportunities currently in development.
