Housing Action Illinois
 


 

 

Welcome

Housing Action Illinois is a statewide coalition formed to protect and expand the availability of quality, affordable housing throughout Illinois. Together we empower communities to thrive through three programs: Organizing, Policy Advocacy, and Training and Technical Assistance.

Our members include housing counseling agencies, homeless service providers, developers of affordable housing and policymakers. These organizations serve low- and moderate-income households, helping to provide a place to call home, thereby strengthening the community at large. 

At Housing Action Illinois our supporters, participants and members agree that a stronger Illinois begins at home.
