About This Chicago Housing Authority
The Chicago Housing Authority manages programs aimed at providing housing assistance to low income residents. These programs include Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8, and eligibility is determined by HUD based on income. As there is a high demand for housing assistance, waiting lists for rentals or vouchers may be in place and may close to new applicants. If you are in need of assistance, please contact the Housing Authority directly to learn more about eligibility requirements, availability of rentals or vouchers, waiting list status, and application procedures. Their office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm and they are available to assist you.
How to apply
Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is usually owned by a government
authority, either central or local. The federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) department
addressed concerns of distressed properties and blighted superblocks with revitalization and funding
projects for the renewal of public housing to decrease its density and allow for tenants with mixed
income levels.
