The Law Center for Better Housing (LCBH) is a public interest law firm in the legal services sector that specializes in housing law and policy. Founded in 1980 by a small group of lawyers concerned about deteriorating apartment buildings and housing abandonment in the Rogers Park area, the organization now serves all of Chicago and operates five legal programs and supportive services to provide holistic access to the judicial process and connections to essential services to help avoid homelessness. Its work focuses on tenants in the private rental market, a group that accounts for more than 70% of Chicago’s low-income households, and it is the only agency in the Chicago area whose legal services concentrate exclusively on renters. LCBH is located at 33 North Lasalle Suite 900, Chicago, Illinois 60602, United States, and employs between 11 and 50 staff members. The organization has engaged in foreclosure-related work and supports community organizations across Chicago, Cook County, and parts of Illinois; in 2011 it provided direct services to 1,932 tenant families and reached well over 7,000 individuals through services and education.
