Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 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.
