social services

On July 16, more than two weeks after the beginning of the new state fiscal year, the Illinois General Assembly sent Governor Pat Quinn a state budget plan that largely avoids massive social service funding cuts.  Governor Quinn almost immediately signed the bills into law.

Nine days into the new fiscal year, Illinois still doesn’t have a state budget in place.  What does this mean for people living with HIV/AIDS and other special needs? Without state funds, agencies can’t afford to keep the staff that provides essential services to Illinoisans with complex health conditions.
