For Property Managers

Under § 54-26, the Commission on Human Relations is a formally constituted body within Park Forest, and property owners and managers operating in the village should be aware that this nine-member commission exists as an oversight and advisory body on human relations issues. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the commission's composition and role, as its activities may intersect with fair housing and non-discrimination obligations. Staying informed about commission proceedings and leadership changes — since the chair and vice-chair are redesignated annually — is a common practice among responsible operators.

For Tenants

Section 54-26 establishes the Park Forest Commission on Human Relations as a nine-member resident body, which may serve as a resource or forum for residents experiencing human relations concerns, including housing-related issues. Tenants who believe their rights have been affected may look to this commission as one avenue for raising concerns at the local level. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help clarify how the commission's role under Ch. 54 relates to any specific rights or remedies available under village ordinance.
