Under South Chicago Heights Ch. 30 Fair Housing § 30-42, property owners and managers operating in the municipality should be aware that a Fair Housing Review Board exists as a formal oversight body with appointed, resident members. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the board's composition and appointment structure so they understand the governance framework that may oversee fair housing matters affecting their properties. Knowing that the board operates independently from the Human Relations Commission can help operators understand the distinct channels through which fair housing concerns may be reviewed.
