| 7 | Sec. 1-85. Home Illinois Program. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) Subject to appropriation, the Department of Human | ||||||

| 17 | Department of Human Services may consult with the Capital | ||||||
| 18 | Development Board, the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
| 19 | Opportunity, and the Illinois Housing Development Authority in | ||||||
| 20 | the management and disbursement of funds for capital related | ||||||
| 21 | projects. The Capital Development Board, the Department of | ||||||
| 22 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the Illinois Housing | ||||||
| 23 | Development Authority shall act in a consulting role only for | ||||||

| 10 | leverage other funding sources, as well as other factors that | ||||||
| 11 | may demonstrate fiscal solvency of the service provider and | ||||||
| 12 | that the service provider is not solely reliant on State funds | ||||||
| 13 | for the provision of services. | ||||||
