About This Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Section 8 Program

The Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8, managed by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, offers housing aid to low income residents based on their income and HUD's eligibility criteria. However, due to the program's popularity, the waiting list for vouchers may be long and may temporarily close to new applicants. If you require housing aid in the region, please contact the DCEO directly for more information on eligibility criteria, assistance availability, waiting list status and application procedures.

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.
