Services in the metro-east are vanishing for people at risk of becoming homeless, low-income moms who need daycare, low-income, teens, senior citizens and victims of domestic violence. Human Services budget cuts appear to be cost effective but in the long run will cost millions of dollars more to tax payers. Among the casualties are adult day care for those with Alzheimer’s, daycare supports for low-income working moms, and mental health services for the mentally ill and home care for individuals who are disabled.
Illinois Partners for Human Service is a statewide network of organizations that advocate for high quality, responsible and sustainable approaches to providing human service in Illinois. We engage nonprofit, government, faith-based, business and education leaders who agree that our communities are healthier and safer when residents have access to bedrock public services such as early childhood learning, afterschool programs, family support, assistance to the disabled, workforce training, violence prevention, and homecare for the elderly.
