Press release from the City of Champaign:

Posted on July 17, 2020

On July 9, the Neighborhood Services Department – Coordination Division facilitated a virtual landlord/tenant forum. The purpose of the forum was to educate both groups about their rights and responsibilities, provide resource information, and share fair housing enforcement information.

Fifty-six landlords, tenants, and community stakeholders participated in the virtual meeting and were treated to presentations by local housing experts and municipal staff who provided timely information on available housing resources. Based on the positive feedback, we anticipate that we will continue to organize and engage various groups virtually to share relevant and targeted information. The Neighborhood Services Department in partnership with Legal, ECHO, and the City of Champaign Township organized the forum.
