Illinois needs Low Income Relief.
A recent study revealed that more than 1.4 million Illinois residents live in poverty. Over 15% of children in the state are in families with incomes below the poverty line (which, for this study, was defined as $25,926 per year for a four-person family).
Basically, Illinois scores poorly in income inequality, unemployment, gender wage gaps, affordable housing and more.
How does Low Income Relief help in Illinois?
For years, Low Income Relief has helped low income people across Illinois connect with resources, benefits and programs around the state that can help alleviate the strain of poverty. We've discovered that too many people just don't know what's out there to help them.
That's why we're here. We created this information service to help low income people connect with resources, benefits and programs that can help lift them out of poverty. After all, the programs are out there. They just aren't always easy to find.
Over the years, we have helped millions of people save money, get free stuff and make ends meet.
