United States Representative Delia Ramirez (IL-3) came to Onward House on January 4th, 2024 for a special press conference “urging Congressional Leadership to finally pass an FY24 Government Funding plan that responds to the needs of American families.”

Representative Ramirez has been a major supporter of Onward House’s new building project, which will allow the people of Belmont Cragin and surrounding communities to access nutritional foods, health care, and services for immigrants. These resources would help the people of this community build lives based in dignity, health, and prosperity.

Fox News 32 reported on the press conference, and you can watch the news segment by following this link: https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/congresswoman-ramirez-pushes-for-passage-of-government-funding

Congresswoman Ramirez and her team also stopped by our 5413 West Diversey Adult Education classrooms to give a briefing to community leaders about the funding plan.
