The commission proposes policies and programs to the City Council to assist all persons, regardless of age, race, color, creed, or income, to have equal opportunity to secure safe and adequate housing within the City. The commission is also responsible for receiving and investigating fair housing complaints within Naperville. At least five of the members shall have professional expertise in the duties of the commission including real estate, business, architecture, community development, property management, senior services, the disabled and financial lending.
Powers and duties of the Housing Advisory Commission are defined in Municipal Code Section 2-5-3.
