Hungry and Homeless to Honorable and Heroic…

Alderman JoAnn Thompson joins CCIL Board of Directors

CCIL is proud to announce a new member to the Board of Directors. Former CCIL resident and now elected official, Alderman JoAnn Thompson is the newest addition to CCIL’s 16-member Board of Directors.

CCIL Executive Director Judy McIntyre comments, “This is a notable moment for CCIL. Our mission is geared toward working with homeless individuals and families, helping them reintegrate into society as self-sufficient, confident people. Having someone on our board that has experienced homelessness is powerful. JoAnn is an inspiration – we’re truly fortunate to have her as an advocate and representative for our organization.”

Chicago’s 16th Ward Alderman JoAnn Thompson is a prime example of someone who is giving back to her community. She credits CCIL as a constructive catalyst in her journey to recovery.
