Bill Summary
Amends the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act. In provisions requiring the Illinois Housing Development Authority to determine which local governments are exempt or not exempt from the requirements of the Act, requires the Authority to collect data and make certain calculations based on: (i) the total number of owner-occupied housing units in each local government that are affordable to households with a gross household income that is at or below 30% of the median household income within the county or primary metropolitan statistical area; (ii) the total number of rental units in each local government that are affordable to households with a gross household income that is at or below 30% of the median household income within the county or primary metropolitan statistical area; (iii) the total number of owner-occupied housing units in each local government that are affordable to households with a gross household income that is between 80% and 140% of the median household income within the county or primary metropolitan statistical area; and (iv) the total number of rental units in each local government that are affordable to households with a gross household income that is between 60% and 80% of the median household income within the county or primary metropolitan statistical area. Requires the Illinois Housing Development Authority to publish the collected data for each local government in the State and for the State as a whole at least once every 5 years. Requires the Illinois Housing Development Authority to also compile the collected data into a report and submit the report to the General Assembly. Provides that the collected data shall be for informational purposes only and shall not factor into the determination of exempt local governments. Expands the Act's list of legislative findings.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act to expand data collection and reporting requirements for the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) regarding affordable housing. The bill requires IHDA to collect and calculate detailed information about housing affordability across different income levels, including extremely low-income households (30% of median income), lower-income households (60-80% of median income), and the "missing middle" income range (80-140% of median income). Specifically, the bill mandates calculating the number of owner-occupied and rental units affordable to these income groups in each local government, and determining what percentage these units represent of total housing units. IHDA must publish this comprehensive housing data for each local government and the state every five years, and submit a report to the General Assembly. Importantly, the bill emphasizes that this new data collection is for informational purposes only and will not be used to determine which local governments are exempt from affordable housing requirements. The bill also expands the legislative findings to highlight the importance of increasing housing choices for middle-income residents, acknowledging that such housing can help prevent homelessness and encourage more inclusive, mixed-income communities throughout Illinois.
