SPRINGFIELD – Applications for rental assistance in Illinois are now being accepted.
State Housing Development Authority executive director Kristin Faust says those still struggling to pay their rent due to the pandemic can now apply for grants online at IllinoisHousingHelp.org.
“They are up to $25,000 and if people need additional help applying there are community organizations that we contracted with that also can be found on IllinoisHousingHelp.org to help people that need a little extra assitance,” said Faust.
Faust says nearly $300 million is available and certain income guidelines must be met to qualify.
The program closes Jan 9.
