|State News
Springfield, IL On Sept. 23, the state Senate voted to restore the recent $4 million for services in new supportive housing, the 2% cuts to existing supportive housing service funding, all the substance abuse cuts, and other cuts! For more information, go to www.ilga.gov, SB1103,
House Amendment 7


YOU CAN HELP
The next, and final step, in this process is for the Governor to sign the bill and not veto any of the restored cuts. We will begin the process of urging him to do this shortly. Stay posted! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
