Advisory Council Spotlight: Dalitso Sulamoyo, IACAA | |||
In this Advisory Council Spotlight we introduce Dalitso Sulamoyo, president and CEO of the Illinois Association of Community Action Agencies (IACAA). IACAA is a membership organization of 40 not-for-profits and public entities that serve communities and the economically challenged citizens of Illinois through an array of services to children, families, and senior citizens. Dalitso is serving his first term on the Advisory Council. Community action agencies often provide “safety net” services to some of the most vulnerable households. How much is housing assistance part of that safety net? And what other services are your members providing in an effort to stabilize families? Homelessness in rural areas may be affected by the lack of affordable housing and access to services and resources. Compared with urban settings, rural areas may not have the infrastructure to effectively address and respond to homelessness. However, our organization operates a rural housing assistance program with about one-third of our agencies called the Rental Housing Support Program. This is a state-funded program which provides rental subsidies to extremely and severely low-income households. We have helped many families stay in permanent housing and off the streets in rural areas of our state. | |||
