V Focus Areas A. PIT Data – Lynn presented Point-in-Time (PIT) data for both 2021 sheltered and 2020 unsheltered counts. Due to the pandemic, there was no 2021 unsheltered count, so the unsheltered numbers presented were from the previous year. Some of the highlights are: • 1162 homeless persons served • 1044 were sheltered and 118 were unsheltered • 267 or 23% were chronically homeless • 34 or 3% were veterans • 516 or 44% were households with children. The regional (North, West, and South) breakdown of the numbers are: • North had 37 unsheltered and 403 sheltered

• West had 53 unsheltered and 306 sheltered • South had 28 unsheltered and 335 sheltered 2020 -2021 Comparison • 27% in increase in the overall homeless population compared to 2020 • 30% increase in sheltered population and no change in unsheltered since there was no 2021 unsheltered count • 35% increase in chronic homelessness • 6% increase in veteran homelessness • 35% increase in homeless families with children Khen asked why the west had a greater increase in their numbers compared to other regions. Lynda reported that the west bed capacity went up to accommodate the need brought on by the pandemic. A question was also asked if and when the eviction moratorium is lifted, what impact it will have on homelessness. Jennifer responded that there is ongoing conversation as to what the shelter system will look like post-pandemic. Katie also reported that there are currently no available data but the burden will fall on families that were rent burdened before the pandemic. B.

Hotline and email: 312-332-8785; [email protected], www.cvls.org/covid . https://www.cookcountylegalaid.org/ - 855-956-5763 Eviction Moratorium – Katie • On Friday, July 23, the Governor will issue an Executive Order allowing eviction filings against people currently protected by the eviction moratorium beginning on August 1. • Police are not allowed to enforce eviction orders until August 31. o Press release: https://www2.illinois.gov/Pages/news-item.aspx?ReleaseID=23570 • IL Supreme Court announced that from August 1 through August 31, the courts will focus on referring newly filed eviction cases to State programs that provide rental assistance to landlords and tenants • Call Center screening question: are you in the eviction process? o How do we track court-based referrals? o Quick turnaround times? o If someone identifies that they are in the eviction process and have a notice, then they are first sent to an STSS referral? . If client calls the Call Center with a 5 day notice (or somewhere in the eviction process), send to a HP referral o Utility assistance . Some agencies do not help with the water bill and the reason for that is because the water bill could include capital improvement and garbage collection; some villages don’t break down those line items . A small number of agencies don’t help with water bills because of the municipality not breaking down the line item expenses . DHS is pretty flexible with outstanding utility bills – using Regular HP funds for outstanding utility bills that were sent to collections (i.e. if someone is being denied subsidized housing from HACC because of outstanding utility bills) • Questions and advocacy? o Details from Governor’s Office and DHS about how courts will refer tenants to Call Center/HP providers o Assistance can be provided directly to tenants if their landlord refuses to participate (with DHS ERA dollars) . Landlord cooperation? o Push Governor’s Office to maximize funding advances as much as possible – beyond what GATA allows for - to avoid cash flow issues o Documentation barriers? . Clients taking the time to schedule appointment and do the application to provide the documents . Documents confirming identity and residence; required in federal guidance and prevent fraud/duplication of benefits . Social Security cards are difficult, but mostly for shelter clients . Almost all HP clients have a tax return that shows SSN, identity documents aren’t so much as an issue . Proving the hardship – proof of income, proof of job loss is difficult . Landlords want the tenants to apply for assistance, but tenants are resistant

• Illinois HB 2877: COVID 19 Emergency Housing Act • Requires the sealing of all eviction records between March 2020 and March 2022 upon filing, with limited unsealing allowed if a judgment is entered and the case is unrelated to nonpayment of rent. Renters should not face permanent housing barriers due to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. An eviction record, including even the mere filing of a case, hampers a tenant's ability to secure housing. • Requires the sealing of older eviction records if the court finds that doing so is in the interests of justice, the case is dismissed, the tenant did not breach the lease, or the parties agree to seal the record. This provision sunsets on July 31, 2022. • Prohibits tenant screening companies from disseminating a sealed eviction court record and creates penalties for doing so. This provision sunsets on July 31, 2022.

Questions/Updates • All HP providers be on the look out for huge increases in rent in the low-income housing market

Land & First Nations Recognition

As we gather together, we acknowledge the sacred land on which we meet. Humans have lived, gathered and traded here for some 15,000 years, and this is the traditional homeland of at least 30 indigenous groups of people, including the Potawatomi people of the Council of the Three Fires, the Illiniwek or Illinois Confederation, which includes the Cahokia, Miami, and Mitchigamea peoples, the Kickapoo people, the Sioux people, and the Ho-Chunk people until they were all forcibly removed by the US government in the 1830s in order to establish the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. Today, Chicago, particularly in the Uptown, Rogers Park, and Ravenswood communities, is the home of some 27,000 descendants from these and other indigenous nations from across Turtle Island. We honor the history and contributions of Native peoples in this region, and we recognize a legacy of broken treaties and covenants, and the need to strive to make right with all our relations.

Human Enslavement Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the kidnapping and enslavement of people from the African continent and recognize that people of the African diaspora lost the knowledge of native languages and culture through that process. We acknowledge that as a nation, we have not yet begun to right the hundreds of years of oppression of the people that built this country with free labor and who continue to endure social and economic injustices. We acknowledge that we live and work within a system that was not designed for everyone and continues to result in the increased death and abuse of Black communities.
