The Illinois Department of Human Rights is a state government agency tasked with administering and enforcing the Illinois Human Rights Act. Its mandate is to protect individuals in Illinois from unlawful discrimination and to advance equal opportunity and affirmative action as state policy. The Act bans discrimination in employment, financial credit, public accommodations, and real estate transactions on a wide range of bases, and it also addresses protections in education and related settings. Residents and organizations in Illinois may initiate discrimination charges through the department by contacting its Chicago or Springfield offices, within 180 days of the alleged act (housing discrimination carries a one-year window). Based in Chicago, the department is a mid-sized agency within government administration, providing a formal mechanism to enforce the Act and resolve discrimination claims.
