PHA-NO WORK REQUIREMENTS

Summary

If enacted, this bill would prohibit covered housing providers that receive federal housing assistance from imposing time limits or work requirements as conditions for eligibility or rent subsidies, with exceptions for federal mandates and voluntary programs. It would also bar landlords from requiring tenants to pay broker fees for services performed on the landlord’s behalf, and extend protections under the Illinois Human Rights Act to survivors of gender-based violence in housing transactions.
