Robin Rue Simmons, Evanston Landlord
“As a lifelong Evanstonian and owner-occupied landlord, providing quality affordable housing for my neighbors is my way of preserving our diversity and keeping lifelong families in town.
Partnering with Connections as a landlord has helped me with my commitment to provide housing for young adults who might otherwise be unhoused.”
Landlord Engagement Taskforce
Connections’ Landlord Engagement Taskforce works to strengthen relationships with housing providers by sharing resources and fostering collaboration so together, we can prevent housing insecurity in our communities.
We can’t do this without partnerships with landlords like YOU.
Events for Housing Providers
We host regular collaborative events to build trust, transparency, and collaboration between landlords, tenants, and housing professionals.
These events focus on building stronger relationships with housing providers, educating attendees on relevant topics, developing new partnerships, and providing space to ask questions and share feedback.

Bridget Johnson
Evanston Real Estate Agent
“As a real estate agent serving tenants, Housing Choice Voucher recipients, landlords, and families in our community, my experience with the Landlord Taskforce has been eye-opening, motivating and inspiring.
After attending my first meeting, I was completely sold on the mission. The passion, devotion, and commitment in that room made it clear that this taskforce is not just talking about solutions — they are actively working to create them.
Through this taskforce, I have seen firsthand the importance of bridging the gap between landlords and the resources available to help prevent homelessness. Many landlords want to be part of the solution, but they need education, support, and clear connections to the right tools. This taskforce helps make those connections possible.
Thank you again for the opportunity to share my experience and for the work you all continue to do in our community.”
