FY21 State Budget
Supportive Housing Services


 

SHPA asks ALL of our Members & Friends to contact their Lawmakers
TODAY !! 


Illinois lawmakers are meeting in special session this week and may vote on a final state budget for FY2021 which begins July 1.

We, as Supportive Housing Providers & Residents, MUST contact our state lawmakers immediately and underscore the urgency of continued and adequate funding for Supportive Housing Services. 

Attached, are SHPA's Messaging Summary and SHPA's Call to Action Tools (see links below) to help you advocate for Critical Supportive Housing Resources. 
Please know that during this pandemic, and amid the state's stay-at-home order, many lawmakers and their staff have been conducting work remotely. Lawmakers and their staff are trying to balance their ongoing official obligations with the sudden and considerable community needs associated with the COVID-19 crisis, while simultaneously attempting to keep their themselves and their families safe just as you are all doing for yourselves, families and people you serve. The act of connecting to a lawmaker or his/her staff has necessarily become far more challenging, but lawmakers and their staff are, in our experience, doing their best under the circumstances to continue to be responsive to constituent outreach. 
 
PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN SHPA'S CALL TO ACTION TODAY!!
