Action Alert: Make Affordable Housing a Capital Budget Priority

Take action now! - http://xrl.in/24cg

Right now, your state senator is making decisions about his or her priorities in Illinois' capital budget. Your senator needs to hear from you that $500 million for affordable housing must be included in the next capital budget to provide new jobs, new tax revenue, and new opportunity to the most vulnerable people in our state.

Contact your state senator today and urge them to tell their leaders that $500 million for affordable housing needs to be in the capital budget.

Housing is just as important part of our state's infrastructure as bridges and roads. By providing new resources for the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing, our state will be creating white, blue, and green collar jobs, generating new revenue, and creating an infrastructure of opportunity for the hundreds of thousands of people in our state that need safe, decent, affordable housing that is their human right.

Take Action - http://xrl.in/24cg

Note - For this alert, we only need action from those of you that live in Illinois and have a Democrat as your state Senator. Thanks!
