RENTAL HOUSING SUPPORT PROGRAM
PRE-APPLICATION PERIOD AND
The Rental Housing Support Program was approved by the State of Illinois in 2005. The DuPage Housing Authority (DHA) applied as the Local Administering Agency and was awarded funding to assist families throughout DuPage County. The funding is to be used as rental assistance to households with extremely low incomes. Households in the program will pay approximately 30% of their income in rent.
