For those who applied for Emergency Rental Assistance, application status notifications began September 10th and will continue through October 31st, when full disbursement of funds is expected.

For those who applied for Emergency Mortgage Assistance, notifications are expected to be sent out beginning in September through October.

The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) is working as quickly as possible to process applications and notify applicants. Staff is unable to provide updates for individual applications, so please refrain from contacting IHDA regarding your application status. As always, if you are able to make your rent or mortgage payments, please continue to do so. If you need immediate assistance, please be proactive and speak with your landlord or mortgage servicer about your specific situation.
