The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights has compiled a comprehensive guide to address the needs of immigrant and refugee communities in the state of Illinois. This document is being updated when information becomes available, and is a reputable source of information. It includes helpful information surrounding public benefits, unemployment insurance, emergency funds, health care access, food security, housing, internet, childcare services, and mental health resources.
In addition to this document, we have also provided some Chicago-specific resources in each of our topic pages on this website.
