This document serves as Illinois' 2024 Annual Comprehensive Housing Plan Progress Report, evaluating initiatives and activities against housing goals. It outlines four policy priorities: addressing inequities in housing, advancing access for priority populations, supporting economic resiliency and energy efficiency in affordable housing, and maximizing the impact of resources through partnerships and leadership capacity. The plan aims to coordinate public and private efforts to meet diverse housing needs, ensure safe and affordable options for all residents, and foster resilient communities.

The committee reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements for fiscal year 2026, noting favorable operating revenues and administrative fund performance despite some departmental under-spending.

Lincoln Avenue, Indian Trail Apartments, Forest Apartments, and Prairie View Apartments, with requests for tax credits and conduit bond issuances for these developments. The Single Family/Homeownership report highlighted reservation performance, demographic analysis of purchased loans, and the launch of the AccessHome program. Furthermore, the committee authorized the issuance of Revenue Bonds Series 2026 CDEF and various conduit financing notes for specific apartment rehabilitation and development projects.
