The Subcommittee examines issues relating to the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education and the Department of Justice.

"Serving on this important subcommittee will give me the opportunity to examine more closely issues that are of great importance to my constituents, including immigration, gun control, health care and public housing.  I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle on these critical issues," Schakowsky said.
 
In addition to her new assignment, Schakowsky serves on the Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Veterans Affairs and International Relations.  As a member of the House Banking and Financial Services Committee, she serves on the Housing and Community Opportunity and the Domestic and International Monetary Policy subcommittees.
