Permanent Supportive Housing
At IHDA, we believe every person, regardless of illness or limitation, should have the freedom to choose to live as independently as possible in settings appropriate to their own personal needs and preferences. That is why we commit significant resources to the development of permanent affordable housing that offers elective supportive services that allow residents to achieve long-term housing stability.
If you are interested in developing supportive housing but don’t know where to begin, check out the tools and resources in the side bar for assistance.
Current funding opportunities as well as information about past funding rounds under IHDA’s Permanent Supportive Housing Development Program are available below.

The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) have announced that development teams can now apply to participate in its Supportive Housing Institute (SHI), a program designed to equip teams with the tools and knowledge to navigate the complex process of developing and financing housing with supportive services. SHI will provide technical assistance, training, and additional resources to teams who look to access funding through federal and state initiatives like IHDA’s Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Development Program.

2026 Supportive Housing Institute
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) have announced that development teams can now apply to participate in its Supportive Housing Institute (SHI), a program designed to equip teams with the tools and knowledge to navigate the complex process of developing and financing housing with supportive services. SHI will provide technical assistance, training, and additional resources to teams who look to access funding through federal and state initiatives like IHDA’s Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Development Program.
The Institute begins in March 2026, and selected teams will participate in 10 sessions, eight in-person in Springfield and two virtual, over a four-month period. Teams applying to the Institute are encouraged to include a developer, property manager, and supportive services partner. Teams are also encouraged to include a person with lived experience to help shape designs that better support tenant well-being and long-term housing stability. Developers interested in applying individually may also do so, and CSH will work to match applications based on Institute openings.
To date, IHDA has committed more than $103 million in financing to 13 of the 38 teams that have completed the Supportive Housing Institute, with additional proposals still advancing. Read about two of these success stories: Mattoon Commons in Mattoon, Illinois and Vivian’s Village in Cahokia Heights, Illinois.
