Program Description
The Long Term Operating Support Program ("LTOS") is part of the Rental Housing Support ("RHS") Program intended for affordable housing developments. The goal of the LTOS program is to increase the supply of affordable housing to households earning at or less than 30% of Median Income by providing a long term, unit based, rent subsidy. LTOS Grants will be awarded in response to a competitive Request for Applications ("RFA") published 2 or 3 times per year. For a more detailed description of the LTOS Program requirements, please view the LTOS Program Guide
Please note, if your project is located within the City of Chicago, please contact the City's Department of Housing for details on the LTOS and RHS Program for Chicago.
