No one should have to worry if their home is structurally safe or if their appliances will turn on. Thanks to the Community Development Block Grant, homeowners in Southern Illinois and across our state can ensure safe housing for their families.

Reaching functional zero homelessness starts with preventing homelessness before it can begin. In my proposed budget, we’re investing $35M in court-based rental assistance for those in eviction court β€” the difference between stability and homelessness for families in Illinois.

Black women in Illinois are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications. Over 80% of those deaths are preventable. By proposing $23 million towards the Birth Equity initiative in his FY25 budget, @GovPritzker makes it clear that in Illinois, Black mamas matter!

Every one of us deals with hard days where we face challenges and need support. But not all of us have access to quality mental health care. Here in IL, we're breaking down the stigma surrounding getting the care you need and making it easier to access.

Nearly 1 in 6 kids in the nation has a mental health disorder β€” with only half getting treatment at all. Illinois is changing that statistic by leading the nation in banning prior authorization for in-patient hospital setting children's mental health care.

No family in Illinois should have to worry about drinking water through lead pipes. That’s why we’re removing them town by town, county by county. Because everyone in our state should have access to safe, clean water. Period.

Illinois is transforming our health care system statewide. Our latest grant program ensures that safety net hospitals can modernize their infrastructure all while providing services to uninsured or underinsured Illinoisans.

When Black women are 3x more likely than white women to die from maternal complications in Illinois, we need to make a change that’s equitable for families. The Birth Equity Initiative will help make sure every new mom and their baby has what they need to be healthy and thrive.

Make no mistake: the bravery of our law enforcement has saved lives. While we'll never be able to repay it in full, I'm honored to present the Medal of Honor to our officers in recognition of their service. We couldn't be more grateful for their dedication and sacrifice.

Proud to be the first to announce @USDANutrition 's Summer EBT program starting this year in Illinois and across the nation. A now permanent program after the pandemic, research shows summer grocery benefits like this reduce child hunger by 33%.

Teacher salaries in IL are among the best in the nation! It was past time our teachers got a raise, and in 2019, I raised the wage to combat the teacher shortage we were seeing nationwide. I'm proud to help make sure our teachers earn what they're worth.
