Government Action Resources

The information and resources on this page are designed to educate those in the homelessness services ecosystem of Racine County. This includes information and resources on issues and topics centering on legislation, policies, and government action that may impact the delivery system of homelessness services. It does not constitute any legal opinion or advice, nor is it designed to be used to lobby government officials who may have found their way to this page. 

I will update this page as soon as new information becomes available.   https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV/bulletins/3cf9a45
