"All across the state, there are people who are choosing hope over homelessness and over helplessness. That's why this year's budget commits over $350 million dollars towards our Home Illinois initiative."

The Home Illinois program aims to address homelessness comprehensively, offering mental health care, substance abuse help, and other supportive services to those in need.
