La Casa Norte is one of many nonprofits in Illinois working diligently to address statewide homelessness and housing insecurity. In light of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Johnson v. Grants Pass effectively allowing for the criminalization of homelessness, this critical work has taken on even greater urgency. In Illinois, we reject this punitive approach. Here, we don’t criminalize homelessness; we solve it. Hope for Homes Day – a statewide day of giving – takes aim at these very issues. Support this first-of-its-kind initiative by sharing information with your network and/or making a donation on ✨Thursday, July 18✨. Every contribution moves us closer to our mission to end homelessness in Illinois. To make a donation on (or before!) July 18, visit: https://lnkd.in/gBDdpXkf ⬅️ #LaCasaNorte #HopeForHomesDay #Donate #EndHomelessness #Chicago #Illinois #CollaborativePhilanthropy #HousingIsAHumanRight
