Researchers, governor release report on Black homelessness in Illinois – Center Square

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.

Our money just keeps on flowing right into
The drain. Not to worry comrade all is free,
Apartments, money whatever you want.
Just give El Gordo your soul, sorry your vote.
When he is done with you he forgets you exist
And will spend money on the illegal migration issue,
NEXT!
