Join us on April 23 at Catalyst Ranch for our 10th Annual Toast to Housing Justice. We look forward to welcoming nonprofit leaders, housing advocates, community members, and allies to come together to connect, celebrate our progress, and make a tangible impact for the future.
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.
