The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and the City of Chicago Department of Housing (DOH) have each announced separate Emergency Rental Assistance Programs. Both programs will be funded using the federal COVID-19 relief funds. Owners with non-paying residents in Chicago can apply to both agencies for assistance, but will only be allowed to receive funds from one of the programs.
Landlords can apply for the Illinois House Development Authority assistance at: https://ilrpp.ihda.org/
The Chicago Emergency Rental Relief Assistance Program will begin taking applications on May 24. This program is open for both Tenants and Landlords. For more information about this program, click HERE.
