Town Hall Forum on Monday, July 28 Re: The Crisis in Illinois’ Health & Human Services System

CHICAGO—(ENEWSPF)—July 28, 2014. Illinois’ ongoing budget crisis has sparked severe problems in the state’s health and human services system — from public aid and food stamps to medical, mental health and disability services. Residents are pushing back by bringing personal testimony about the crisis directly to state legislators. Their goal: to ratchet up awareness about the need to reinvest in vital safety net programs that support both individuals and the economic viability of their communities.
