We got you.
A hub for Chicago renters—real stories, gathered resources, and the power to push for better.
Project Pathway was founded by two sisters who didn’t just read about bad housing—we lived it, and so did our family. We know what it’s like to not know your rights, and to wish someone had your back. So we built the place we needed.
But we didn’t build it alone. We sat down with renters across Chicago to hear their stories—what they were up against, where they got stuck, and what no one had ever told them. Those conversations shape everything we do, because the people living it know best.
This is your one-stop shop for renting in Chicago. We share real stories from tenants who’ve been there, and we gather the resources, tools, and organizations that actually help—all in one place, in plain language, from people who get it. Because every story teaches us something, and every story can change what comes next.
We’ve gathered the guides, tools, and organizations that actually help—so you don’t have to dig through a dozen websites to find what you need.
Hear from real Chicago tenants: their experiences, their wins, and the kind of community knowledge that reminds you you’re not alone in this.
Areas We Support
Project Pathway is built for tenants across Chicago. Wherever you are in the city, our goal is the same: to connect you with the resources, stories, and support you need to advocate for yourself and your home.
