People in our western suburbs are clamoring for more affordable housing. Where are the reasonably priced homes, condos, and apartments?

That’s LWV La Grange Area's question for Tina Rounds, CEO of BEDSPLUS. Tina will help us all understand the extent of the concern, and the solutions she’s found. Since she began as Chief Executive Officer of BEDS PLUS in 2012, she’s gained a deep understanding of the housing challenges facing struggling area residents. With help from her board, staff, and donors she’s found accommodation for thousands of residents needing emergency, interim, transitional, and supportive housing in our local communities. Always resourceful, Tina has learned to deal with landlords, building owners, and zoning boards to create, repurpose, or redevelop existing housing.
