Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Effingham Ch. 17 Art. VI Fair Housing § 17-179, the municipality is required to set aside money in its annual budget ordinance to cover the operating costs of the fair housing commission. This provision ensures the commission has a dedicated funding mechanism rather than relying on ad hoc appropriations. The rule is about governmental fiscal obligation, not about the conduct of landlords or tenants directly.

For Property Managers

Section 17-179 of Effingham's Fair Housing ordinance establishes that the local fair housing commission is funded through the municipality's annual appropriations process. Property owners and managers can generally expect that the commission responsible for overseeing fair housing compliance will have budgeted resources to carry out its functions. Operators who interact with the commission — whether through complaints, hearings, or inquiries — should be aware that the commission's operational capacity is backed by this municipal funding requirement.

For Tenants

Under § 17-179 of Effingham Ch. 17 Art. VI, the municipality is obligated to fund the fair housing commission through its annual budget, which helps ensure the commission can receive and process complaints. Tenants who believe their fair housing rights have been violated may have access to a commission with dedicated resources to investigate such matters. Those seeking to understand their options can consult local tenant-rights organizations or contact the commission directly to learn about available remedies.
