Illinois HB5212 creates the Community Housing Reintegration Fund to provide housing assistance for individuals transitioning out of long-term care.
HB5212 establishes the Community Housing Reintegration Fund to support housing-related costs for eligible individuals transitioning from congregate long-term care settings into less restrictive community-based housing. The fund aims to implement the Olmstead v. L.C. decision, reduce institutionalization, and rebalance long-term care. The fund will receive proceeds from the real estate transfer tax, which increases from 50¢ to $0.75 per $500 of value. The Department of Human Services will administer the fund, ensuring beneficiaries pay no more than 30% of their income on housing costs.
