Join us this year and help us raise $15,000 to expand affordable housing and end homelessness in Illinois! 

Register for our benefit:

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.

    Past Annual Benefits
