State Senator Li Arellano Jr, (R-Dixon) recently participated in his first Home Illinois Summit Program after being appointed to the Interagency Task Force on Homelessness by Senate Republican Leader John Curran.
“Homelessness is a serious and growing issue across our state and nation,” said Senator Arellano. “We need to tackle its root causes and work together to develop real, long-term solutions. This summit allowed me to hear directly from leaders on the front lines, giving me valuable insight into how legislators can better support efforts at the state level.”
The Interagency Task Force on Homelessness is a statewide initiative housed within the Illinois Department of Human Services. Its mission is to lead and coordinate efforts to reduce homelessness and unnecessary institutionalization by implementing the State Plan.
The plan aims to achieve functional zero homelessness, improve health and human services outcomes for those experiencing homelessness, and strengthen housing stability through comprehensive safety nets.
