LUCHA, established in 1982 and based in Chicago, Illinois, operates as both a HUD-approved housing counseling agency and a Community Housing Development Organization. The organization focuses on creating and preserving affordable housing as a means to advance racial equity, with roots in organizing against discrimination, displacement, and systemic inequities affecting low- to moderate-income Latinx and African-American residents. LUCHA currently manages 198 affordable housing units across four developments—Humboldt Park Residence, Borinquen Bella, Madres Unidas, and Tierra Linda—serving more than 400 tenants in the Humboldt Park, Logan Square, and West Town areas. It serves more than 3,000 clients annually through four program areas: advocacy, education, building, and resident connection. These programs encompass homebuyer assistance, foreclosure prevention, financial capability, development and maintenance of housing, and resident services. A notable recent development is LUCHA's collaboration with Canopy Architecture on the Encuentro Square project, illustrating ongoing partnerships to advance housing initiatives.
