Our Story
The East Garfield Park Consolidated Block Club is a community improvement association started in November 2011 as the 2700 W Gladys Avenue Block Club.
It was later renamed the East Garfield Park Consolidated Block Club to reflect the fact that members did not have to reside on the same block.

Hi neighbors, my name is Matenjay Sheriff, and I am a third-year law student at UIC College of Law. I’m currently serving as a law clerk for UIC Fair Housing Legal Support Center & Clinic. The Fair Housing Legal Support Center & Clinic is dedicated to educating the public about fair housing law and providing legal assistance to private or public organizations that seek to eliminate discriminatory housing practices. If you are interested in learning more, please check out the clinic's website:

Part of my job at the clinic is to create outreach materials on fair housing issues. I’ll be conducting a short zoom information session on Tuesday 11/23 at 4pm on the racial homeownership gap. Feel free to join via the zoom app or via phone. Hope to see you all there!
