Habilitative Systems, Inc. selected as Census 2020 Regional Intermediary
Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) announced the 30 local community and government organizations across the state that will receive a combined $20 million to maximize Illinois’ success in the 2020 Census.
Ensuring Inclusion of Chicago’s Historically Undercounted Populations in 2020 Census
Habilitative Systems Inc. was selected as a Census 2020 Regional Intermediary (RI) and awarded a $2.3 million grant. Regional Intermediaries use their expertise and experience in executing and managing subawards, to encourage a complete count.
Historically, the U.S. Census has undercounted certain population groups, and some geographic areas are identified as having low self-response rates from the last decennial census. The populations and areas that are least likely to respond are commonly referred to as Hard-to-Count (HTC) communities. Funding will focus on the critical objective of increasing the self-response rate of HTC communities to the census and ensuring a complete count of all Illinois' residents.

Giving Tuesday
Greetings Friends and Supporters,
As you know, the coronavirus pandemic has created extreme trauma for our families, and we extend our heartfelt wishes for your wellness and safety as we navigate through this challenging period.
At Habilitative Systems, Inc. (HSI), we provide programs to the underserved populations and people living with an array of health and human service needs. We have been working in the community for over 40 years and have continued to provide essential services to hundreds of people with disabilities, mental illness, substance use disorders, seniors and youth experiencing trauma. During this pandemic, our staff has continued to work and provide competent, compassionate care while at the same time trying to maintain their own protection.
One of our biggest challenges, like many nonprofits, has been the increased cost of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for persons served, staff and community members.
On this Giving Tuesday, Habilitative Systems Inc. is seeking to raise $50,000 to support the increased demand for mental health services due to the coronavirus pandemic and all of the community struggles this year.
Please consider making a gift on #GivingTuesdayNow to support HSI’s “Battling the Holiday Blues” event! Your gift to HSI will make the difference and help us make a way.
Thank you for your consideration and stay safe!
