Illinois Budget Address

Organization Update, Policy

Earlier this week, Governor JB Pritzker delivered a virtual Budget and State of the State Address to the 102nd General Assembly.  EverThrive Illinois was pleased to hear the Governor’s continued investment in nutrition support, housing support, early childhood development, child care, and funding to address ongoing vaccine hesitancy. Despite ongoing state budget stress from the pandemic, the Governor did not propose any cuts to state agency budgets.
