About This Program in Chicago

In Chicago, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income.

How to Apply in Chicago

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.
