Deadline to apply for the Illinois Rental Payment Program this Sunday
The application portal for The Illinois Rental Payment Program will close this Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 11:59pm. Applicants are eligible to up to $25,000 in emergency funding. Renters may also receive 18 months of emergency rental payments.
The progam is limited and the IHDA plans to distribute available funds to households who have been unemployed for more than 90 days and individuals earning less than 50% of their area median income. If you have experienced a financial hardship during or due, directly or indirectly, to the pandemic, you may be eligible for relief. Both renters and landlords may apply for available funds.
"Additional application periods may be announced in 2022," according to the IDHS website. "Please check IllinoisHousingHelp.org for future program announcements."
For more information on the Illinois Rental Payment Program, email ILRPP@IHDA.ORG or call (866) 454-3571.
