Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Other Social Services Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Permits townships to use moneys received and collected for public aid to provide funds and administer programs for providing in-kind aid in meeting basic maintenance requirements, including, but not limited to, food banks, food pantries, food, and other specified items to persons who are poor, indigent, homeless, or in need of immediate assistance, regardless of eligibility (rather than to persons eligible for General Assistance under the Code).
