About This Program in Illinois
In Chicago, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and public housing are run by the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). Rent in public housing and with a voucher is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income.
How to Apply in Illinois
Apply through CHA at thecha.org when waitlists are open; many use a lottery. Chicago and Cook County protect renters from source-of-income discrimination, so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher.
