CCH’s 2022 state legislative agenda, explained

This year CCH is advocating for several statewide measures that would remove barriers for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. CCH policy and organizing staff, along with our grassroots leaders, are leading efforts to pass four bills that will impact students experiencing homelessness, extremely low-income families and children, and people using rental assistance or housing vouchers.

Have a cannabis conviction in Illinois? You may be eligible for expungement.  

The Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act legalized the use of recreational cannabis beginning January 1, 2020. The Act also  established new ways for people with cannabis-related records to clear their records and work in the cannabis industry.  CCH's Law Project provides free legal representation to those wishing to expunge their records as a proud partner in New Leaf Illinois.      For questions about expunging cannabis records or to see if you may be eligible, visit New Leaf Illinois or call   (855) 963-9532.
