Housing Action Illinois is collecting stories from professional housing counselors and clients to help illustrate how housing counseling makes a difference in our communities.

We will use these stories to show the need for robust federal funding for housing counseling and support for education for all community members.

Even just sending in a 1-2 sentence answer to one question helps, and you’re welcome to record yourself answering and send in an audio or video file.
