If your eligible for a voucher you're not welcome here. Source of income discrimination The Illinois Human Rights Act protects against housing discrimination. As of January 1, 2023, the Illinois Human Rights Act 775 ILCS 5/1-103 (O-5) has been amended to include source of income as a protected class. "Source of income" is defined as the lawful manner by which an individual supports himself/herself and his/her dependents. For renters, this means that any legal and verifiable source of income or housing assistance payment used to pay for rent must be treated the same by landlords as any other type of employment-based income. The law makes housing more accessible to renters by prohibiting landlords from refusing to rent to qualified renters because of the source of their legal income. This is important because housing choice voucher holders and other renters with non-wage income are especially susceptible to such discrimination.
