See newsletter for the full story on each of these items
IACAA has been awarded $400,000 from the Illinois COVID-19 Response Fund. These funds will be utilized for direct client services. Thanks to the #ICRF, many of those hit hardest in our communities now have access to critical resources needed-from emergency food and basic supplies to interim housing and shelter. Now is the time to step up and provide urgent services for those in need during this difficult time – see newsletter to learn more about the Illinois COVID-19 Response Fund.
