		HB4137 Enrolled		LRB104 15425 LNS 28580 b
1		    AN ACT concerning education.
2		    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3		represented in the General Assembly:
4		    Section 5. The Education for Homeless Children Act is
5		amended by changing Section 1-17 as follows:
6		    (105 ILCS 45/1-17)
7		    Sec. 1-17. Homeless prevention.
8		    (a) If a child is homeless or is at risk of becoming
9		homeless, the school district may:
10		        (1) provide rental, [or] mortgage assistance, or 
11		    extended motel stay in such amount as will allow the child
12		    and his or her parent, his or her guardian, or the person
13		    who enrolled the child to remain permanently in their
14		    current living situation or obtain a new living situation;
15		        (2) provide financial assistance with respect to
16		    unpaid bills, loans, or other financial debts that results
17		    in housing being considered inadequate pursuant to Section
18		    1-5 of this Act and the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless
19		    Assistance Act; or
20		        (3) provide assistance under both items (1) and (2) of
21		    this subsection (a).
22		    (b) In order to provide homeless prevention assistance
23		under subsection (a) of this Section, a school district shall
		HB4137 Enrolled	- 2 -	LRB104 15425 LNS 28580 b
1		first make an attempt to provide such assistance through a
2		homeless assistance agency that is part of the Federal
3		McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act's continuum of care for
4		the area in which the school district is located. If the
5		attempts to secure assistance through the applicable continuum
6		of care are unsuccessful, subject to the limitations specified
7		in Section 29-5 of the School Code, transportation funds under
8		Section 29-5 of the School Code may be used for those purposes.
9		    (c) Prior to providing homeless prevention assistance
10		pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, a housing plan
11		must first be approved in writing by the school district and
12		the parent, guardian, or person who enrolled the child.
13		    (d) For purposes of this Section:
14		    "At risk of becoming homeless" means that documented
15		evidence has been provided by the parent, guardian, or person
16		who enrolled the child that shows that a living situation
17		will, within 8 weeks, cease to become fixed, regular, and
18		adequate and will result in the child becoming homeless within
19		the definition of Section 1-5 of this Act and the Federal
20		McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The documented
21		evidence shall include, but need not be limited to:
22		foreclosure notices, eviction notices, notices indicating that
23		utilities will be shut off or discontinued, or written
24		statements from the parent, guardian, or person who enrolled
25		the child, supplemented by financial documentation, that
26		indicate a loss of income that will prevent the maintenance of
		HB4137 Enrolled	- 3 -	LRB104 15425 LNS 28580 b
1		a permanent living situation.
2		    "Person who enrolled the child" also means an
3		unaccompanied youth.
4		(Source: P.A. 100-332, eff. 8-25-17.)
5		    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
6		becoming law.
