(405 ILCS 85/6) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 2006)
Sec. 6.
Home caregivers.
Prospective home caregivers shall be
selected from among recipients of public assistance according to their
capacity to provide a safe, healthy, nurturing home environment and to
assure reliable quality care. No individual shall be required to
participate nor may any individual's public assistance benefits be denied
due to declining to participate in this program. Each home caregiver who
serves a child shall be licensed as a foster home by the Department of
Children and Family Services or a designated Child Welfare Agency prior to
placement of any individual in the home. Each Project HELP home shall
serve one individual; the Department may waive this provision in
exceptional circumstances, but in no case may more than two individuals be
served in the same Project HELP home.
