As of May 17, the new 2021 Illinois Rental Payment Program is accepting landlord applications for emergency rental assistance. Find out what you need to know about the program and how to apply by signing up for a free webinar from the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA).

IHDA is offering a webinar specifically for Illinois REALTORS® on Wednesday, May 19 at 2 p.m.

The Illinois Rental Payment Program can provide up to $25,000 in emergency rental assistance to eligible Illinois renters who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The one-time grant is paid directly to housing providers to cover up to 15 months of missed rent payments between June 2020 and to prepay payments through August 2021, according to IHDA. Both housing providers and tenants participate in the application process.

Documentation, eligibility requirements and Frequently Asked Questions can be found at IHDA.org.

Learn even more by taking advantage of one of the free, in-depth webinar tutorials from IHDA. The webinars will walk housing providers and tenants through the online portal and application process. Attendees will be able to ask questions and provide feedback in the Q & A.
