The Illinois Office to Prevent and End Homelessness is partnering with communities throughout Illinois to gather input for the next Home Illinois Plan (July 2026 – June 2028).

Please attend one of the following listening sessions so we can include your voice!  We want to know what’s working, what isn’t, and what your ideas are about how the State of Illinois can work across agencies and within communities to best serve people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

All are welcome to attend these listening sessions.  We also have specific sessions to hear from people with lived experience in a safe and inclusive space.
