(310 ILCS 10/8.19) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 8.19)
Sec. 8.19.
The housing authority of any county, or of the several counties
within its area of operation is authorized and permitted to operate a housing
referral service. "Housing referral Service" for the purposes of this Section
means that the Housing Authority establishing the service will use all of
the information it has available by virtue of its duties under this Act, to
assist persons with low incomes to find available housing that is decent,
safe and sanitary and affordable without overcrowding, which is suitable
for their needs. This service shall include housing anywhere within an
authority's area of operation or in cooperation with any regional or State
planning agency of any city, village or incorporated town wholly or partly
within the area of its operation, but is not confined to housing projects
of the authority. This service shall be without charge of any kind to the
individuals seeking housing within their income range and shall be provided
under rules promulgated by the Housing Authority.
"Low income" for the purposes of this Section means income as that term
is defined by federal housing statutes and U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development regulations.
