Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed a bill that is aimed at fighting homelessness.

Called “Home IL,” it will bring state agencies, nonprofit organizations and other advocates together. The bill focuses on an equity-based approach, which includes the voices and contributions of those who have experience homelessness.

It codifies the collaboration to move Illinois to “functional zero” homelessness by bolstering the safety net, targeting high-risk populations, expanding affordable housing, securing financial stability for unhoused individuals and closing the mortality gap.

“Every person deserves access to safe shelter and the dignity that comes with housing,” Pritzker said. “This is a first-of-its-kind multi-agency cooperative effort — bringing together state agencies, nonprofit organizations, advocates, and people with lived experience to prevent and end homelessness. I’m grateful for their dedication and believe that together, we can prevent and end homelessness once and for all.”

Rockford has already taken strides in this aspect. In 2017, it became the first community to reach “functional zero” levels among veterans and the chronically homeless.

Illinois’ Interagency Task Force and Community Advisory Council works across 17 state departments and agencies, as well as over 100 processes, programs and policies, to develop a comprehensive plan to combat homelessness.

The goal of the plan is to prevent shelter entry or ensure that shelter stays are limited and lead to quick transitions into stable living situations.

Pritzker has also committed about $360 million for the initiative in his FY24 budget. These investments include:

• $118 million to support unhoused populations seeking shelter and services, including $40.7 million in the Emergency and Transitional Housing Program.

• $50 million in Rapid ReHousing services for 2,000 households, including short-term rental assistance and targeted support for up to two years.

• $40 million in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Capital funds to develop 90+ new PSH units providing long term rental assistance and case management.

• $37 million in Emergency Shelter capital funds to create more than 460 non-congregate shelter units.

• $35 million for supportive housing services, homeless youth services, street outreach, medical respite, re-entry services, access to counsel, and other shelter diversion supports.

• $21.8 million to provide homelessness prevention services to approximately 6,000 more families.

• $30 million for court-based rental assistance.

• $15 million to fund Home Illinois Innovations Pilots.

• $12.5 million to create 500 new scattered site PSH units.

“People experiencing the trauma of housing instability are our neighbors and community members who deserve to be treated with humanity and dignity. With this cooperative effort, Illinois is ensuring our state agencies can continue to collaborate, and that stakeholders are at the table with us, to support our most vulnerable in living healthy, well, and with dignity.” Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton said. “Our state is making it clear that we will continue to work together so we can all move forward, and we will focus on holistic strategies that bring us closer to ending homelessness in our state.”

In time, several high-rises will be constructed on a 10-acre property in Penticton across from the city’s hospital. The decade-long project, announced on Friday by the city and a developer, could cost as much as $800 million. However, that’s down the road, assuming city council gives it the green light. This winter, the industrial site at 1704 Government St. will be turned into an emergency winter shelter for the homeless.

“REST ROOM IS MUCH USED BY THE WORKLESS,” Hamilton Spectator. December 15, 1930. Page 7. ---- Cold Weather Compels Men To Seek Shelter ---- Over 600 Persons Were There This Morning --- Many Helping, But Demand is Very Heavy --- The sudden cold snap that visited Hamilton over the week-end has brought the unemployed to the places of shelter in hundreds. This morning the municipal rest room and the employment service bureau were crowded with more than 600 men who had been forced indoors by the cold weather.

Walter Selkirk, superintendent of the employment service of Canada. said that as yet there was no change in the prevailing conditions and hopes last it might be bettered before the new year were very slight. A careful survey of the unemployment conditions in the city was made last week, he said, with the result that no indication of improvement could be found. Only in the stores, he continued, was there any sign of prosperity. and even there the reports were that business was only fair.

In the women's emergency lunch room there were signs of excitement this morning the members of the Women's Liberal club were preparing for the noonday meal. Over 320 men were fed yesterday, and the crowds that had gathered around the lunch rooms at an early hour this morning gave every indication that the record would be broken by a very large increase.

Many Helping This week in the lunch room the Women's Liberal club, the Women's Baptist club. Mrs. Lester's husband group, the LODE, the Lions club and the Samaritan chub will take turns in helping to prepare the fond. These women are grateful to the many people that have helped them in their work, and they wish especially to thank Duff's meat market, Burna meet market, Hill's bread, the Royal Connaught hotel and the Wentworth Arms hotel for contributions.

The need of having supplies sent in is even greater than ever, they said, and donations may be sent to the employment service bureau. Those willing to contribute in cash towards this work and the Christmas dinner fund are asked to forward their contributions to George Wood Brown, 55 Catharine street north.

In the rest room, which is operated by the Local Council of Women in conjunction with the city council, donations have been coming in splendidly, it was stated, but there is still further need for overcoats and heavy boots. Mending kits were also suggested, so that the men would be able to keep their clothing repaired.

One excellent example of the interest that is being taken by the citizens in helping the unemployed was seen Saturday afternoon, when a woman who refused to divulge her name, saw a sandwich-man walking through the streets with only a light suit-coat, to keep out the cold. She immediately took him into one of the larger departmental stores, where she furnished him with a heavy mackinaw.

Prompt 158

Klarion is on a mission. A very important mission of the utmost importance!

He, as the oldest of the family (at least sibling-wise) has been given the sacred task of bringing his baby siblings to find their own familiars! And nothing is going to stop him from seeing this task through! He’s not going to get distracted playing with the Justice League’s Baby Team, nor is he going to try and kick Stupid-Helmet-Head-The-Despised.

He’s going to help Jordan and Ellie find their own familiars, and Phantom-Dad will be so proud of him! Tucker-Dad will be proud too, and his Moms would as well! He’s going to absolutely rock this older-sibling thing!

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Eternal Quartet #They’re married & their timeline is older than DCs #The 4 saw small baby Chaos Lord and went “Is Anyone going to adopt that”#And didn’t wait for an answer #Dan & Ellie are delighted in having a sibling who is just as chaotic as them #Normally they’d be older than Klarion but Halfas can’t reform from their core into adult forms #They have to fully regrow their bodies from scratch so they emerge as babies again #Halfas are pretty much the Realms versions of phoenixes lmao #Klarion: I have never had parents before and I’m going to make them so proud :)#He’s bringing his new little siblings to so many zoos & animal shelters & YJ keeps *Just* missing them #Hilarious enough it’s either Damian or Billy or both who run into the trio #Either one would join in his mission as chaotic gremlins themselves

Absolutely fucking shameful that I can google "how to find tornado shelters" or "[location] storm shelters" and instead of getting lists of emergency shelters organized by local, state, and federal governments, I get. . . ads for companies to build family shelters.

I keep saying it, but the disaster preparation and response in the US is completely left up to individual families and it's horrifying. And when it comes to tornadoes, if you don't have a basement or other shelter, your government's recommendation is to basically tell you to pray instead of offering communal shelters. This hasn't changed even while tornadoes are getting worse and worse throughout all the country and especially the midwest.

"Have an emergency plan, with an evacuation kit and somewhere to take shelter." But WHERE are those shelters? And why are our governments not helping their communities prepare?

#this is also a call for help #if anyone knows how to find emergency storm shelters please tell me because i am beyond scared at this point #climate change

It’s annoying to have to be an advocate to a shelter for the wellbeing of a kitten I’m fostering FOR them. One of the kittens is premature and we managed to stabilize him after days of dropping weight but there is clearly something happening we can’t see and now we gotta start twisting their arms or bit the bullet and use our own money to bring him to a vet

#can’t wait to get set up with a shelter that actually gives a fuck and literally has an account open with an emergency vet #fostering #two of the shelters we work with just happily avoid vets like fuck OFF

concept: mike hugging will like he did in season one with his head on will's chest + will's little rabbit heart running WILD, thumping so loudly and so madly that it makes mike lift his head like "woah, are you okay? 🥺" and will, blushed positively pink all over to the point where he might just break out into a sweat and die of mortification and simultaneous glee, just chokes out a very unconvincing "yeah, no, i'm—i'm okay. i'm okay, mike. :)" and mike doesn't reaaaaaally believe it but when he rests his head over will's heart again and will wraps an arm around his back, holding him close, he can't help but smile into the worn fabric of will's shirt and pray that the world allows them this one moment of peace for a little while longer

#will has not been having a category 5 code red sound the alarms and get to an emergency shelter level of overwhelming gay ache and yearning #event every single time he's next to mike just for u guys to pretend like he isn't hopelessly in love with tht boy to the point where he #can't even control himself and thus ropes himself into precarious and exposed positions while trying to avoid that #byler hc #mine #blows the dust off this old draft n then runs away
