A BILL FOR
SB3028 LRB103 37327 KTG 67448 b
AN ACT concerning housing.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Housing Act is amended by changing
Section 2 as follows:
(310 ILCS 5/2) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 152)
Sec. 2. It is hereby declared that that congested and
unsanitary housing conditions which exist in certain areas of
the state in low-priced dwellings are a menace to the health,
safety, morals, welfare and reasonable comfort of the citizens
of the state. The correction of these conditions in such areas
being now otherwise impossible, it is essential that provision
be made to encourage the investment of funds at low interest
rates, the acquisition at fair prices of adequate parcels of
land, the gradual demolition of existing unsanitary and unsafe
housing and the construction of new housing facilities under
public supervision, with proper standards of sanitation and
safety, and at a cost which will permit monthly rentals or
charges which wage-earners can afford to pay, and not in
excess of the rates hereinafter provided.
Therefore, there are created and authorized the agencies
and instrumentalities hereinafter prescribed, which are
declared to be the agencies and instrumentalities of the state
