affordable housing collaboratively, operating the first community land 
trust program in Illinois.
  CPAH preserves communities' existing housing stock by rehabilitating 
problematic or blighted properties. This maximizes the cost-
effectiveness of public and private investment for long-term community 
benefit.
  In short, CPAH synthesizes safe, clean housing with affordability. 
CPAH is an incredible asset that the cities of Highland Park, Evanston, 
and Lake Forest are fortunate to benefit from. I am proud to represent 
Community Partners for Affordable Housing.
