Join CEDA and our partners on February 1 at 11:00 AM for our first ever State of Poverty Virtual Townhall.
Our inaugural event’s theme – Rebuilding Together. Stronger. – looks at how we can collectively progress toward building an inclusive, equitable, and thriving Chicagoland.
We will deliver a State of Poverty Report, featuring the results of CEDA’s new Community Needs Assessment. Then a panel of experts will dive deeper into the key priorities we need to address to eradicate poverty.
