  • The taxes paid would go directly for services at our community mental health center.
  • The money would be overseen in a transparent environment by local community members. City Hall would not be able to touch it.
  • Plans for the new expanded center show that there could be as many as 23 therapists providing mental health services to anyone in our community that needed it.
  • Cook County Clerk/Assessor data shows this would raise $548,00 per year for mental health services for the North River Area.
