Illinois Housing Committee passes affordable housing legislation
Unmute
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.- State representatives advanced a bill out of the Housing Committee Wednesday to give college students the opportunity to live in affordable housing units.
Republican members questioned if the affordable housing units would actually serve a need in community college districts. They said community college students mostly commute instead of living on campus.
“This is not mandatory,” said Representative Nick Smith (D-Chicago). “This is strictly voluntary, so it’s not being forced upon any community college district. It’s their choice whether they want to engage in this or not. I think once we get up and running, and get a couple of these housing developments done, others will see how successful it is.”
