| 1 | AN ACT concerning housing.
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | |||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Illinois Affordable Housing Act is amended | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | by changing Section 2 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | (310 ILCS 65/2) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 1252)
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | Sec. 2. Legislative findings and declarations. It is hereby | |||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | found
and
and declared that an acute shortage of affordable | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | housing exists in
the State of Illinois; and that this crisis | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | has been exacerbated by a sharp
reduction in federal funding | |||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | for affordable housing, by the potential
prepayment of | |||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | subsidized federal mortgages, and by an inability on the part
| |||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | of local government to meet this need. New State resources must | |||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | therefore
be directed to alleviate the shortage of affordable | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | housing. It is further
intended that limited new State | |||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | resources be allocated in a manner that
maximizes collaboration | |||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | among federal, State and local agencies as well as
the private | |||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | sector. | |||||||||||||||||||
