As a part of the Restoring Rights and Opportunities Coalition of Illinois (RROCI), Chicago Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) advocated for two housing and employment reform bills that were included in the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus's lame-duck session agenda. The bills will improve equity and access to employment and affordable housing for individuals with criminal records. Thanks to CCH’s advocacy in partnership with our peers and legislators, both pieces of legislation passed both chambers earlier this month. |
