Rockford, sick.
In a news release from Kikifer’s Entrepreneur Academy103 W. Main Saint, Private School says its litigation alleges that WCMHB and other community leaders have repeatedly excluded black -owned organizations from access to funds for mental health measures.
“It’s not just about Kikifer’s Business Academy (KEA). It is about every black -owned organization that has been closed with public health financing, while millions of people were prepared for white -owned organizations,” said Kishwanda, the executive director in the case. “They thought we would not notice. They thought we would not fight behind. Now they have to respond in the federal court.
Kaya says its legalism has outlined the following violations.
- The Title of the Civil Rights Act is banned from racial discrimination in the VI – Federally -Financial -Financial Planting programs. WCCMHB deliberately excludes black -owned organizations from funds
- Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause – Public Funds require fair and equal treatment. WCCMHB and Winbago failed to ensure ethnic equity in the County allocation
- Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) violations – WCCMHB, Winbago County, R1PC, and ZRFM delayed access to public records, delaying access to public records in exposing their funding decisions.
- Conflict of interest and government mismanagement. County officials and board members have failed to disclose financial relations with white -owned organizations, while refusing to engage with black -owned organizations.
In January, the KEA was preparing to review its grant requests from the WCCMHB to create a new mental health facility. At that time, Kaya said that his money was denied by the board three times since August.
On your website, WCCHB has a list of 38 programs Receiving funds. The agency reports that Million will support 60 million programs that provide “mental health treatment, crisis response services, case management, family and community support, client identification and access, and residence services.”
Kaya says she will hold a news conference on March 12 on her legalism.
