Illinois Rental Assistance Program Is Available To Tenants

The state’s rental payment program has paid out 70 million dollars to Illinois landlords in just the first month.  Housing Authority Development official Rodrigo Carrillo says the need for assistance is huge.  Landlords submitted 664 million dollars worth of requests for past and future rent on behalf of their tenants.  The portion of the program for landlords is now closed.  Tenants still needing assistance may start applying for the program beginning today on the website ihda-dot-org.
