Join us for an upcoming webinar to explore practical, ready-to-use tools designed specifically to help Illinois community organizations connect more people to the benefits they need.
Under-enrollment in public benefit programs leaves families in poverty and strains local communities. A key reason why eligible households don’t enroll is that our siloed safety net makes it difficult to understand all the programs available and how to apply. Community organizations like yours are working hard to bridge these gaps, often without the tools and resources you need.
Benefit Illinois is working to create a different experience for Illinois families and different supports for Illinois community organizations. Learn about tools we are developing to help your organization and the households you serve, including:
- Comprehensive eligibility screener that screens for 30 federal, state, and local programs in an average 6 minutes.
- One-stop learning website with information about public benefits that is accurate and easy to navigate.
- Data-tested outreach materials segmented by audience needs.
- Trainings to help your organization incorporate outreach and screening tools into existing workflows.
- Data dashboard to help you understand enrollment gaps and monitor progress in your community.
The webinar will be Wednesday, April 29, from noon to 1 pm.
