VOA Illinois is proud to join a network of providers with the Illinois Medical Respite Capacity Building Initiative (IMRCBI) working to build and grow medical respite programs across the state of Illinois. Also known as recuperative care, medical respite care offers compassionate outreach to the homeless community as efforts to stamp housing as a human right increase across the country. Medical respite programs are designed and delivered by community-based organizations, health systems, impacted people and community leaders who are invested in the community. Funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services as part of Home Illinois: Illinois' Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness and convened by Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), creating sustainable medical respite care programs for people experiencing homelessness provides access to the healthcare that all Illinoisians deserve.
