Gov. JB Pritzker said he is earmarking $250 million in the fiscal year 2025 budget, an increase of $50 million from last year to address the structural factors contributing to racial inequalities in homelessness. According to the report, Black residents in Illinois are almost eight times more likely to be unhoused than white residents. The gap is one of the worst in the nation and double the national rate.

And will spend money on the illegal migration issue,
