Housing Action Alert
Submitted by Kathy Kregor
Legislative Advocacy Committee
Calls to legislators are needed on the Source of Income Amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act (HB 45).
The bill must be called for a vote in the House by this Thursday April 14 to proceed. If you have not yet contacted your representative in support, please call today.
The Source of Income Amendment would protect individuals from discrimination based on their lawful source of income. The legislation would protect senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and families from discrimination by landlords who categorically refuse to rent to them because of their source of income, including Housing Choice Vouchers, SSI, SSD, and TANF.
Phone numbers for legislators can be found at www.ilga.gov
