As we move into June, we want to update everyone on several fronts:

1. We continue to pursue our lawsuit for payment for services delivered under legally binding contracts, even as the Governor and the General Assembly are unable to reach a budget deal.
2. Our first date in Cook County Circuit Court on June 2 was continued until next Tuesday, June 7.
3. We continue to deliver services, though we have not been paid in 11+ months for those services performed under signed contracts that are in place.
4. The longer the budget impasse goes on, the more agencies will have to cut programs, scale back hours or close altogether. Please take a look at the Illinois Atlas of Austerity, which graphically illustrates the many ways the budget impasse is affecting human and social service providers and those they serve throughout our state.
