Holsten Human Capital Development NFP

Residents and Case Managers from Riverwalk Homes joined the Chicago Coalition to end Homelessness in Springfield today to advocate for HB1429.

The bill would stop governments in Illinois from creating or enforcing policies or ordinances imposing fines or criminal penalties against people experiencing unsheltered homelessness for occupying or engaging in life-sustaining activities on public property.

Today we demonstrated that a truly effective Continuum of Care means empowering impacted individuals to advocate for systemic changes using their own lived experience.
