Illinois Partners for Human Services conducted a survey to learn the impact of state funding cuts and late payments. The most striking numbers from our perspective are those that describe agencies either closing programs or reducing services. The numbers themselves being huge, it’s hard to get your head around the even greater impact on peoples’ lives. On the SU front, our application for six month’s of expedited payments has been activated. We’re still paying interest on the money we’ve had to borrow for payroll and other bills, but we’re feeling more comfortable that we’re not going to run out of cash or credit in the very near future.
