Housing Action Illinois will always be steadfast in our mission to protect and expand affordable housing and end homelessness in Illinois. The results of the federal election are reshaping our political landscape, and we know that challenges and uncertainty lie ahead—but whatever comes next, we will continue the foundational work we’ve always done to expand access to housing opportunities for all.
Our organization is more than 35 years old, and we have decades of experience in advocating for the housing policies and investments that help our communities thrive. The need for affordable housing is a bipartisan issue, and for the first time in far too long, housing was in the limelight during the presidential campaign. We will work to keep our elected officials focused on this issue and will continue to educate decision makers about the root causes of housing issues, countering myths and fighting misinformation that unfairly target people and communities for systemic injustices in our society.
Housing Action Illinois is unique in that our coalition is statewide, and we work across the entire housing ecosystem, bringing together a wide range of private, public and non-profit organizations to advance sustainable local, state and federal solutions. Connection and collaboration propel us forward. In the coming years, we will continue to partner with you and other allies here and across the nation to take a stand for strong, equitable policies and investments in affordable housing and to organize against ones that harm Illinoisans and our communities. Thank you for your ongoing support.
