IL SB3414

Establishes the Second Chance State Housing Program under the Department of Returning Resident Affairs to provide affordable single-family and multi-family housing to formerly incarcerated individuals who complete a 12-hour HUD-approved housing counselor course.

Requires the Department to receive at least 15% of Illinois affordable housing tax credit allocation and authorizes the Department to issue bonds, create funds, manage tax increment financing areas statewide, and offer non-recourse reverse mortgage loans.

Prohibits local governments from enacting zoning or building code requirements that prevent the Department from acquiring, rehabilitating, and conveying residential housing to returning residents.

Authorizes the Department to purchase tax-delinquent single-family and multi-family residential properties and grants it priority to bid on such properties offered at county scavenger sales without payment of filing fees.

Amends the Freedom of Information Act to exempt records provided by returning residents in connection with the Second Chance State Housing Program and modifies the Property Tax Code to allow tax abatement and lien voiding when the Department acquires property.
