Initiative 1.B. Year 1 budget: $20,000,000 ($12,500,000 via IPHCA + $7,500,000 via CBHA). Sourced from Illinois's official "RHT Program Update" (2026-03-09). Committed budget allocation via named sub-awardee(s)/formula, not a traditional open RFP.
[budget-audit 2026-08-11] Budget marked unknown: no linked non-ignored document contains structured budget/award data or readable dollar-denominated budget evidence. Prior values preserved in this note: budgetMin=, budgetMax=20000000.
[QC 2026-09-06] postedDate cleared -- was set from a general document/page date (not this specific program's own confirmed posting), which was causing effectiveStatus() to wrongly display this as "Open" once that date passed, even though no real per-program solicitation has actually been published. Genuinely still UPCOMING pending a real NOFO/RFP.
