Illinois HB4137 allows school districts to provide extended motel stays for homeless or at-risk children.
Illinois HB4137 amends the Education for Homeless Children Act to allow school districts to provide extended motel stays for children who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. This assistance can include rental or mortgage help, or financial aid for unpaid bills. A housing plan must be approved by the school district and the child's parent, guardian, or enroller. The act defines "at risk of becoming homeless" as having documented evidence of a loss of income preventing the maintenance of a permanent living situation. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
