To: Chicago House and Social Service Agency (Chicago House)

Let’s break the cycle of systemic corruption.

Staff, clients, and community members are demanding the resignation of the Chief Program Officer Judy Perloff, whose incompetence has created a culture of corruption at Chicago House. Also, we are demanding the dismantling of the Chicago House board of trustees, who’s complacency has allowed this culture of corruption to fester until it’s breaking point.

Why is this important?

Chicago House and Social Service agency serves some of the most marginalized populations in Chicago. Communities that are experiencing homelessness, communities that are impacted by HIV and Trans women and Gender expansive communities.
Chicago House Chief Financial Officer Andrea Peoples was arrested on January 6, 2020 by Chicago Police Department and Cook County State’s Attorney office charged her with felony theft. Andrea Peoples and two other “high level” employees defrauded Chicago House and Social Service Agency out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This crime has put the clients, employees and community members at risk for losing access to housing, medical care, HIV prevention, legal, and case management.
We can no longer put fiduciary trust in a group of people who did not sound the alarm as this robbery to our communities took place. We need new leadership that can be accountable and transparent to the communities it serves.
