Due to a vendor needing additional time to ensure its application platform is functioning properly, the Illinois Housing Development Authority will reopen the Illinois Rental Payment Program on Monday, Dec. 6 instead of Monday, Nov. 8. While the date for the program reopening is delayed, money from this round will still be distributed to approved Illinoisans before the end of the year as originally scheduled.
IHDA is continuously learning from previous application rounds and striving to improve the application process to ensure the funds can quickly get to landlords and tenants who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. Applications will now be accepted from Monday, Dec. 6 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Jan 9 at illinoishousinghelp.org.
The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) is currently accepting applications for rental assistance. Those looking for assistance, please contact an IDHS Service Provider Agency to ask about rental assistance, find out if you’re eligible and get help with applying.
Renters can find a IDHS Service Provider at: illinoisrentalassistance.org/providers
