New Act

20 ILCS 3805/10

from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 310

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the State Advocacy Program for the Homeless Mentally Ill and Developmentally Disabled Act. Requires that a staff advocacy position within the Bureau of Homeless Services and Supportive Services of the Department of Human Services (DHS) be created to promote and facilitate the development of community-based support systems to protect the health, safety, welfare, and human and civil rights of homeless individuals with mental illness or developmental disabilities and to perform other functions. Requires DHS to initiate requests for proposals or continued funding forms for the establishment or expansion of nonprofit agencies and organizations that will be responsible for developing or coordinating comprehensive and integrated community-based support systems for homeless individuals with mental illness or developmental disabilities. Amends the Illinois Housing Development Act to require the Illinois Housing Development Authority to ensure that a number of the units held available for persons of low or moderate income are held available for the homeless mentally ill and developmentally disabled as defined in the State Advocacy Program for the Homeless Mentally Ill and Developmentally Disabled Act.

	Fiscal Note (Department of Human Services)
	An additional position to advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities is estimated to cost the Agency approximately $80,000 (includes fringe benefits). Additional travel monies estimated at $10,000 would also likely be needed to work with entities providing services for homeless persons.
