1    AN ACT concerning housing.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Rental
5Housing Support Program Funding Allocation Task Force Act.
 
6    Section 5. Purpose. The mission of the Illinois Rental
7Housing Support Program Funding Allocation Task Force is to
8implement, monitor, and maintain an equitable allocation of
9Rental Housing Support Program funds across the State. Since
10the Program's funding is allocated based on data released by
11the United States Census Bureau, the recent 2020 decennial
12census will soon reallocate the Program's funding. Allocations
13made based upon the 2010 census resulted in a reported 40
14counties not receiving any distributions from at least 2014 to
152016, including many of the most impoverished counties in the
16State. With funding also given to local administering
17agencies, which many of these counties do not have, multiple
18counties have reported losing funds they need to other parts
19of the State. It shall be the charge of the Task Force to
20develop more level funding allocations with the new census
21data.
 
22    Section 10. Task Force.
