Community public housing advocates protested outside Chicago Housing Authority headquarters in the Loop Tuesday.

"Yet again, CHA is trying to get rid of more public housing land," said Rod Wilson of Lugenia Burns Hope Center.

"We have over 50,000 people on the CHA waiting list, so it seems like the priority should be building housing," Wilson said. "They're homeless now. They need a place to stay," said Beverly Feagins, who is on the housing waitlist. "But you've got people coming from around the world and you're getting money and you're placing them. We've been laying out there 20 years. We need help, Mayor Johnson. We need help.""How can you sell something that's not really yours? It doesn't belong to you. We are hurting," said Deborrah Tipps, on housing waitlist.
