Low-income families are bearing unequal burdens when paying energy bills. It is essential to understand that not only do our vulnerable populations have to grapple with a lack of affordable housing, but also are burdened with the cost of energy in the housing they do find.

Our Continuum of Care is an affordable housing continuum focused on providing options at every step of one's journey. From emergency shelter to permanent housing options, the continuum is an essential part of Good News Partners' continued investment in our community.

Next week, get excited for back to school with Gale Community Academy's Back-to-School Block Party! In addition to the music, food, and games available, we've donated some school supplies to help our community families prepare for the school year ahead! We hope to see you there!

As our fiscal year comes to a close on August 31st, our financial goals for operations need to be met. Your help will keep our emergency shelter open and the ability to provide affordable housing options for low income families. https://t.co/5kFapcPizA

Homelessness isn’t an issue to criminalize or tuck away from the public. We urgently need to center the lived experiences of those experiencing homelessness, see them, and meet their needs.

"Research from the Government Accountability Office shows that for every $100 increase in the median rent price in a community, there is an associated 9% increase in homelessness."

Over 1/4th of sheltered, and just under 1/3rd of unsheltered Illinoisans experiencing homelessness experience some form of physical disability. Providing inclusive resources that enable accessible housing for those in need is essential to an expansion of affordable housing!

Spoke to @LAmag on behalf of @pathpartners. The Los Angeles City Council’s vote on criminalizing homelessness only makes matters worse. ⤵️

“Twenty percent of all renters are paying half of their income to rent and that is just unsustainable, and we can’t keep putting that pressure on renters to think that they’ll be OK because they’re not.”
