Just announced: We're proud to share that Housing Action's David Young is one of 11 new appointees to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee! The Committee serves a critical advisory role to HUD by helping shape the direction of its Housing Counseling Program and providing guidance on how to better serve prospective buyers, homeowners, and renters with their housing needs.

Tomorrow is Day 1 of #HousingMatters2024. A big thank you to our sponsors for their generous support. We couldn't have done it without you. Here's to creating thriving communities everywhere in Illinois.

Happy Birthday CRA! That’s the Community Reinvestment Act, signed into law on Oct 12, 1977. It puts billions into underserved communities every year...and now we've also passed a complementary state level law, the IL CRA, that will help bring even more investment in communities that need it most.
