Our President & CEO Carolyn Ross was honored to serve on the Racial Equity Roundtable on Black Homelessness, making recommendations to Gov Pritzker on how to address racial disparities in homelessness. Thank you to the UIC Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy for coordinating this project and convening the Roundtable for essential discussions.

In Illinois, Black residents are eight times more likely to be homeless than white residents. On Thursday, Governor JB Pritzker announced the release of a report on racial disparities in homelessness. The report, produced by the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy (IRRPP) at the University of Illinois Chicago, analyzes the causes of this disparity and suggests actions that the state can take. IRRPP worked in close coordination with a Racial Equity Roundtable on Black Homelessness, composed of Black leaders and experts from around the state doing work to support the homeless population in Illinois. All Chicago President & CEO Carolyn Ross was honored to serve on the Roundtable. Read the press release --> https://bit.ly/3xTAGWh #endhomelessness #racialequity #blackhomelessness #blackleaders

There are many ways we can help people experiencing homelessness. Fining or jailing those who sleep outside is not one of them. As Camilla Krauss, an attorney with the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, says in the article, "Solution-driven approaches are more effective...these punitive approaches really don't do anything to solve homelessness."
