FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

State Treasurer Awards $ 10 Million Link Deposit to Center on Halsted
Illinois State Treasurer presented a $10 million link deposit today at a ceremony held on the future site of Center on Halsted.
State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka announced today her support for Center on Halsted by awarding a $10 million link deposit to assist the Center with its funding efforts. The Center will serve as a future community center for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons and serve as an anchor for LGBT cultural, recreational and social service programs. The Center is scheduled to break ground next year.
The link deposit will make it possible for Center on Halsted to obtain below-market interest rates on short-term borrowing necessary to complete the project. The loan is part of the Treasurer’s targeted initiative program that provides Illinois community service organizations with access to affordable capital to enhance and expand services that benefit the public good.
The announcement was made at a ceremony today on the future site of Center on Halsted. Others participating included Center on Halsted steering committee chairperson Patrick Sheahan; Bill Greaves, representing Mayor Daley's office; Alderman Helen Shiller; and Maria Laraia, LaSalle Banks’ Group Senior Vice President of Community Affairs. LaSalle Bank is the financial institution that will make the loan that is to be supported through the linked deposit.
Sheahan noted that the link deposit could save Center on Halsted as much as $250,000 over the life of the project. He thanked Sidetrack co-owner Art Johnston for having introduced the project to Treasurer Topinka.
The Midwest’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender social
service agency, Horizons Community Services, Inc., has provided a wide
array of counseling, support, referral, advocacy and educational programs
for more than 25 years, and is a United Way Member Agency.
