Highly effective urban solutions aimed at homelessness too often falter in rural America\, where service provision is different and those who are homeless are often less conspicuous\, but no less in need of assistance. \nThe State of Illinois has recognized the importance and unique nature of addressing homelessness in rural communities of their state and committed resources and efforts to help end homelessness in rural Illinois. \nThe Supportive Housing Providers Association (SHPA)\, the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Housing Assistance Council are undertaking a data and information collection effort that will help inform strategies\, solutions\, and policies\, that will eliminate homelessness in rural Illinois. \nWho Should Register?\nCommunity\, Stakeholder\, and Expert Input. To help inform the development of strategies and recommendations\, the project will solicit community\, stakeholder and expert perspectives on the prevalence\, characteristics\, and dynamics of homelessness in rural Illinois. \nPersons of Lived Expertise of Homelessness. The project team recognizes that often times individuals with lived experience can provide the most relevant perspectives. SHPA is offering a $25 stipend (gift card) to these individuals who participate in the listening session in-person. \nRegistration is required. \nFor More Information \nDavid Esposito – Executive Director\, SHPA\nd.esposito@shpa-il.org \nManda Laporte – Stevenson Center Fellow\, HAC\nmanda@ruralhome.org \nRegistration
