Yesterday, Mark Kimzey had the opportunity to present at the Township Officials of Cook County Supervisors Division Meeting, where he provided an overview of “Traditional” and “Expanded” General Assistance Programs.
His presentation explored the history and evolving legal landscape surrounding General Assistance, the statewide expansion of GA eligibility and benefits, and key practical considerations for townships as they prepare to implement these changes. Mark also discussed how this legislation impacts local administration and what steps Supervisors can take to ensure compliance while continuing to meet the rapidly changing needs of their communities.
Thank you to the Township Officials of Cook County for the opportunity to be part of the conversation and to help navigate these important changes.
