On this last day of Women’s history month, let us be reminded that you don’t need a “special day” to give flowers to the fearless women who lead, making this world a better place for all of us. 💐

Thank you Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, for joining us as Guest of Honor at last week’s Private Capital and Property Opportunities event and congratulations on your victorious re-election! 🇺🇸

Your leadership continues to set the tone for how we approach one of the most urgent challenges facing Chicago and Cook County: housing affordability. At our event, you made it clear that housing is not just about buildings; it’s about stability, opportunity, and creating pathways to generational wealth for families across our communities.

You also underscored something that resonated deeply with everyone in the room: solving the housing crisis requires all of us at the table. Public sector leadership, private capital, developers, and community voices must work in partnership if we want real, lasting impact.
Real progress happens when the people who build our neighborhoods sit at the same table with the people who shape policy.

Your remarks highlighted both the urgency and the opportunity; acknowledging the real barriers facing development today, from regulatory hurdles to financing challenges, while also emphasizing that private capital, when aligned with community priorities, is one of the most powerful tools we have to drive equitable growth.

We especially appreciate your commitment to reducing barriers, expanding access to capital, and creating more pathways to homeownership because stronger communities tomorrow depend on the investments we make today!

Congratulations and Happy Re-Election Day, to one of our esteemed guest speakers, 4th District Cook County Commissioner Stanley Moore! 🇺🇸

At our Private Capital and Properties event last Wednesday, Commissioner Moore went into detail about all of the exciting developments going on in his district and throughout the South Side of Chicago. This area is rapidly transforming into one of the most compelling investment landscapes in the country. With catalytic developments like the Obama Presidential Center, the Red Line Extension, and a $600 million expansion at Advocate Trinity Hospital, the foundation for sustained economic growth is already being laid.

Add to that the reimagining of the Port of Chicago and the emergence of a multi-billion-dollar quantum computing campus; it’s clear this is a community where infrastructure, innovation, and opportunity are converging in real time.

Combined with proactive county policies, like expanding tax incentives and accelerating land redevelopment, this is not just a place to invest, but a place where investment is actively supported and positioned to thrive.

If you are thinking of developing on the South Side of Chicago, we specialize in various funding sources whether you have plans to rebuild an entire city block or just one rehab at a time. Submit your deals in the link posted in the comments below!

While many of you across the city of Chicago were out celebrating the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, we were in the trenches—preparing a space where esteemed dignitaries, business leaders, corporate and real estate influencers could gather in meaningful dialogue to pursue real solutions.

This work is about more than a conversation. It is about ensuring that affordable housing becomes accessible to all, and that education and resources for generational wealth creation are within reach for the communities that need them most.

We are committed to providing a place where our thought leaders can come together to mastermind, and confront the challenges that so many of our neighborhoods face. The builders of the great city of Chicago and Cook County as well as many other cities across our great nation, hold the keys to addressing the housing shortage crisis. But we cannot move forward while facing so many roadblocks: lengthy permit processing times, high interest rates on private money financing, the public perception that crime has not improved, the rise of squatters, and a judicial system with one of the longest foreclosure processes in the United States.

All of these factors make it difficult for Wall Street to offer lower interest rates. As a result, community development becomes more expensive and more risky—driving rental rates and the cost of home ownership higher for everyday households.

That is why I am proud to share that on March 11, 2026, at our Unlocking Private Capital & Property Opportunities , we will address these issues head-on. In a fireside-chat setting, community leaders who safeguard these resources will come together to discuss solutions. And for the first time in this room, new policies and programs will be announced by elected officials who have long fought for fair and equitable housing.

I want to thank Cook County Commissioner Stanley Moore and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle for their committment as our honored guest speakers for this groundbreaking event, being among the bravest leaders I know - willing to confront these challenges directly. We must continue to lift them up and support leaders who fight for everyday citizens, leaders who will stand up to corporations, banks, lending institutions, and Wall Street, and remind them why our communities deserve a seat at the table.

Coincidentally, this critical event will be held on the heavenly birthday of the late, great, and dearly beloved civil rights champion, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Taking action over taking selfies is exactly what he would have wanted on such a meaningful day.

The torch has officially been passed.
Now, let’s continue to fight the good fight. ✊🏾

Today’s Speaker Spotlight goes to:Jessica Caffrey!💫

Jessica brings more than two decades of Real Estate leadership to her role as Executive Director at Cook County Land Bank Authority. After holding a series of progressive leadership roles within the County Government, she became Executive Director of CCLBA with dynamism and innovative intention. Under Caffrey’s leadership, the Land Bank continues to demonstrate its mission that there is a robust market for naturally occurring affordable housing in every community. Before leading the CCLBA, Caffrey led the Real Estate portfolio for Cook County’s Offices under the President, which included 234 unique properties that covered over 19 million square feet. Caffrey spearheaded the redevelopment and rehabilitation of the historically significant Old Cook County Hospital which was transformed into offices and a hotel and helped bring the Cook County Board of Commissioners vision into reality. Before joining Cook County Government in 2012, Caffrey worked for the Chicago Housing Authority where among other responsibilities, she strategically planned and coordinated the redevelopment process for the Oakwood Shores community. During this time, she managed a $200M redevelopment program to create a mixed-income community at the former Madden Park/Ida B. Wells site, and Altgeld Gardens creating more than 11,800 housing units in the process. As a widely respected real estate leader, Caffrey has a proven track record in successfully managing complex real estate initiatives and devising and implementing comprehensive strategic plans for property development. Under Caffrey’s leadership, CCLBA has preserved and increased home values, helped return approximately $5M annually in property tax revenue to Cook County, and induced upwards of $14M in private sector investment in tax-distressed properties.
