Help Spread the Word About Rent Assistance! 🏡❄️
Volunteer to help us connect our neighbors with rental assistance!
Join our virtual volunteer phone bank to call our neighbors and connect them with rent assistance through the state's ILRPP program.
As we look towards the new year, we know that many of our neighbors are still feeling the economic effects of the pandemic and struggling to catch up on their rent. While Illinois has fully distributed the first round of $505 million in rental assistance earlier this year, there is a new round of assistance opening up on Monday, Dec. 6 through the ILRPP Program.
We want to make sure this new round of rental assistance reaches our most vulnerable neighbors. We know there are many folks in our community who are in need of this type of assistance, but may only hear about it through their informal networks.
In order to tap into those informal networks, we’re hosting a virtual rent assistance phone bank where we'll call our neighbors in Belmont Cragin and Hermosa to share information about how they can apply for assistance. Our goal is to spread the word about this program so that folks can share the application link with their friends, family, neighbors, faith groups, and beyond.
Here are the details:
Saturday, Dec. 11
10:00am - 12:00pm
Sign-up Form: www.bit.ly/ILRRP
We’ll be providing a brief training before we begin making calls together using our predictive dialing system. Please note that in order to participate you must have access to a cellphone and computer or tablet.
We hope you’ll join us on Saturday, Dec. 11 to share this critical rental assistance information with members of our community. And be sure to invite your friends and neighbors to join us as well!
Thank you for your help and service to our communities!
