                        Man Who Spent Years Fighting For LGBTQ Housing Gets Apartments Named In His Honor — But Developer Won’t Let Him Live There

                        Robert Castillo grew up in Logan Square and was unable to afford steep rents when the area gentrified. His activism led to an affordable housing complex named for his late husband in the neighborhood — but he's been denied housing there.

                        The complex brings 41 affordable housing units and 47 CHA project-based units to gentrifying Milwaukee Avenue.

                        Construction Underway On Logan Square’s LGBTQ Affordable Housing Complex

                        The affordable housing complex focused on LGBTQ+ residents is "desperately needed" in a neighborhood that has been dealing with skyrocketing rents and gentrification, supporters say.
