Motley Fool. Investor's Business Daily. Yahoo Finance. Insider Monkey. Simply Wall St. The Wall Street Journal. Thank you Mayor Lightfoot for validating and affirming our voices. This budget approval will create access and support for employment, housing, healthcare, and wellness resources for people impacted by the justice system. We are transforming our city by being deliberate, compassionate, and mission driven as we address the trauma caused by mass incarceration.
It has been an honor to collaborate with such amazing individuals. I am proud of the work accomplished that will help forge a pathway that humanizes people returning home.
In doing this, we humanize ourselves and commit to the cause of social justice. The time and opportunity to provide smart equitable generational investment across the city is NOW.
Our mark on history is right in front of us, we must support this budget. However, historic funding can solve many. This is unprecedented and welcomed by all in this field. As the incubator of Chicago Funders Together to End Homelessness—a collaborative of 30 funders in the Chicago area—Michael Reese Health Trust values the essential role that housing plays in addressing so many of the issues we all care about: racial equity, public health, violence prevention, employment, and more. As Chicago's largest private safety net, we have been longtime advocates and activists for partnership and investment in our communities to address the health and economic inequities, that have been accentuated by the COVID pandemic.
This plan designates significant investment to address root causes of disparity, including affordable housing, community development and safety, assistance for families and the homeless, and of course, public health.
Further, we are thrilled that this investment is wide reaching, supporting wellness and mental health needs for Chicagoans. For over 45 years, Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago has worked with community residents, government, and other stakeholders, to reverse the legacy of redlining and other discriminatory policies, and bring the wealth building opportunities of homeownership to low and moderate income communities of color in the Chicago region. We cannot make progress on closing the racial wealth gap without a real commitment to equity, and that includes devoting significant resources to support existing homeowners and create new homeowners of color in Chicago.
Homeownership is the key to closing the racial wealth gap and bringing transformative investment to our neighborhoods. This budget takes a real and significant step in that direction. Gender-based violence is an often overlooked human rights violation, and a major public health concern, but with this investment, the Mayor and her administration have shown their serious commitment to serving survivors and their families, and to uplifting our communities.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Mayor and her administration to craft innovative solutions to comprehensively address and prevent gender-based violence in our city.
My Future. This budget reinforces the commitment to provide hope and opportunities for young people in our city, capacity building for strategic partnerships, ultimately creating a better future for them and their families.
This budget creates hope for a better quality of life. We appreciate the City Clerk for bringing everyone to the table and jumpstarting the reform process through the Fines, Fees and Access Collaborative. We look forward to continuing to make Chicago a leader in reforms that do not build budgets off the backs of those struggling most and appreciate our partnership going forward. Having a cash assistance program in place that any low income Chicagoan can access regardless of immigration status will be a lifeline for many families and we are grateful the Mayor put it in the budget.
Through these investments and continued partnership with service providers, Mayor Lightfoot recognizes the critical importance of ensuring all Chicagoans can access the services they need to thrive. The level and comprehensiveness of the investments in this budget will have a lasting positive affect on everyone in this city now and in the future.
This coordinated set of investments from the City of Chicago is an important step forward.
