“Housing is a right, not a privilege. Illinois was among the first in the nation to aid families struggling to hold on to this right during a housing crisis exacerbated by the pandemic,” said Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton. “This program continues our focus on providing resources where needed and putting families first.
