Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.


310 ILCS 110/10

    (310 ILCS 110/10)
    Sec. 10. Purpose. In order to maintain the economic health of its communities, the State must have a comprehensive and unified policy for the allocation of resources for affordable housing and supportive services for historically underserved populations throughout the State. Executive Order 2003-18 shall be codified into this Act. The purposes of this Act are to accomplish the following:
        (1) address the need to make available quality
    
housing at a variety of price points in communities throughout the State;
        (2) overcome the shortage of affordable housing,
    
which threatens the viability of many communities and has significant social costs, such as homelessness, concentration of poverty, and unnecessary institutionalization;
        (3) meet the need for safe, sanitary, and accessible
    
affordable and community-based housing and supportive services for elderly persons and people with disabilities and other populations with special needs;
        (4) promote a full range of quality housing choices
    
near job opportunities, transit options, and related amenities;
        (5) meet the needs of constituencies that have been
    
historically underserved and segregated due to barriers and trends in the existing housing market or insufficient resources;
        (6) facilitate the preservation of ownership of
    
existing homes and rental housing in communities;
        (7) create new housing opportunities and, where
    
appropriate, promote mixed-income communities;
        (7.5) maximize federal funding opportunities for
    
affordable housing or the services people need to maintain their housing with required State funding, such as, without limitation, for federal Continuum of Care networks and HOME Investment Partnerships Program project sponsors; and
        (8) encourage development of State incentives for
    
communities to create a mix of housing to meet the needs of current and future residents.
