  • Expand rental assistance vouchers for low-income families and seniors.
  • Strengthen tenant protections, including just-cause eviction requirements.
  • Convert vacant properties into affordable homes through a land bank trust.

Public safety

Public Safety Reform

Tishaura's plan creates a modern, community-centered approach to public safety that keeps everyone safe while building trust.

  • Invest in crisis response teams for mental health emergencies, freeing police to focus on violent crime.
  • Implement body cameras and independent oversight for all law enforcement agencies.
  • Fund youth violence prevention programs and community-based intervention.
  • Expand community policing and build trust between officers and neighborhoods.

World-Class Education

Every child deserves access to a high-quality public education, regardless of their zip code or family income.

  • Raise teacher salaries to competitive national levels to attract and retain top educators.
  • Fully fund pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old in the city.
  • Modernize school infrastructure with updated technology, labs, and arts facilities.
  • Expand after-school programs, tutoring, and mental health services for students.
