We are open Monday through Friday 8:30-12 and 1-4:30pm.
We operate an internship and volunteer program and produce reports and policy briefs on addressing poverty and housing insecurity in Champaign County. Our elected Supervisor, Danielle Chynoweth, serves on the Champaign Urbana Public Health Board. Read more about us and learn about our principles.
Fair Housing Survey
Did you know it is illegal in Illinois to refuse to rent to someone simply because they are using a voucher or rental assistance to pay their rent? This is called Source of Income discrimination. In Illinois, it is illegal to deny someone housing or otherwise treat them differently because of their legal source of income.
But laws are only as good as their enforcement – so we need your help!
Cunningham Township is working with our friends at HOPE Fair Housing to identify local landlords who may discriminate. If you believe that you have faced discrimination while looking for housing or in your current housing, HOPE can help you fight back against that discrimination. You can contact HOPE to discuss your situation by email (info@hopefair.org), phone (630-690-6500), or by checking out their website (www.hopefair.org).
