Over our 50-year history, the Shriver Center has secured hundreds of law and policy victories with and for people living in poverty in Illinois. Building on these wins and our comprehensive view of poverty, we connect and train lawyers, community leaders, and activists nationwide to advance opportunity — for all, not just some.

Now more than ever, no one should be deterred from seeking health care, food, or housing assistance, out of fear they will become a public charge.
These critical steps must be taken immediately to ensure the well-being of our most vulnerable and at-risk populations.
More than ever, we need to advocate for systemic change.
