Housing Action Illinois has been leading the movement for affordable housing since 1986. We unite organizations and individuals who want to create an Illinois where everyone has a good place to call home. With your support, we can cultivate vibrant, thriving communities with expanded housing opportunities throughout our state.
Your contribution makes it possible for us to continue:
- Advocating for public policies and investments that expand affordable housing & end homelessness in Illinois
- Training staff on the front lines of housing nonprofits so they can expand their skills, keep up to date on rapidly shifting issues and guidelines, and better serve our communities
- Educating key decision-makers, media, and advocates about affordable housing issues affecting Illinois
All proceeds support our work to create an Illinois where everyone has a good, stable home.
