The IL Office to Prevent and End Homelessness and the Supportive Housing Providers Association (SHPA) are partnering with communities throughout Illinois to gather input on what should be included in the State Plan. Please join us to provide feedback on how the State of Illinois can work across agencies and with communities to best serve people experiencing homelessness and housing security.
