As we wrap up Affordable Housing Month, we’re celebrating Hailey’s journey to homeownership. With support from an IHDA Mortgage program, she found a home in the community she loves. Stories like hers keep us moving forward. #AffordableHousingMonth #IHDAMortgage #Homeownership

Since 2003, the Affordable Housing Planning & Appeal Act (AHPAA) has called on @ILHousing to catalog the municipalities where less than 10% of homes are deemed affordable.

Why care about the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP)?
Because affordable housing starts long before construction — with planning, priorities, and public input. 2027–2028 Draft QAP is open for public comment through June 15. Public hearing: June 8 at 1 p.m. https://t.co/SwJqcvnNNU

Housing + Support = Stability.

That's the idea behind permanent supportive housing. IHDA's latest Permanent Supportive Funding round will support six developments across Illinois — expanding access to housing that meets people where they are.
