Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky of the 9th district joined us for a press conference at our Uptown campus on July 15 to encourage families to learn more about the Child Tax Credit. This remarkable legislation will provide up to $300 per month, per child now through December.
We were so pleased to welcome Representative Schakowsky to speak to the importance of this legislation, which she played a key role in bringing to fruition. In addition to her remarks, our CEO Libby Shortenhaus spoke to the value that it will bring, not only to our families, but to those around the country, effectively cutting childhood poverty in half. Two parents from our campus also spoke, sharing their enriching experiences with Christopher House and how meaningful this credit will be in helping them support their children and invest in their future.
Many thanks to the local media who attend as well and share these stories with families around the city.
