$40M from IHDA aims to help vulnerable Illinoisans maintain housing

Illinois’ vulnerable residents will have new options for supportive housing soon, thanks to a $40 million grant from the Illinois Housing Development Authority to fund the development of new permanent supportive residences.

A subset of affordable housing, the Permanent Supportive Housing Development Program provides a place to live as independently as possible for individuals, including those transitioning from institutions, at risk of homelessness or with substance-abuse issues, a news release from IHDA said.
