Bill > HB2375

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to require the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (DHFS) to electronically publish and regularly update a list of Supportive Living Facilities (SLFs) starting January 1, 2026. SLFs are specialized housing settings that integrate living spaces with health, personal care, and support services, designed to promote independence and well-being for residents. The bill mandates that the list of selected SLF sites be updated at least once annually and will be based on criteria such as geographic service needs, funding availability, and the site's ability to meet established standards. The legislation builds upon existing provisions for SLFs, which are designed to provide cost-effective, dignified care for residents, potentially including those with special needs like dementia. By requiring public electronic publication of SLF sites, the bill aims to increase transparency and accessibility of information about these supportive living options for Illinois residents.
