ALDERMAN RAY SUAREZ

ANNOUNCES......

For the first time in 10 years the Chicago Housing Authority will be accepting applications for residents that wish to be chosen for a RentBetter Voucher (formally known as a Chicago Housing Voucher).  The RentBetter Voucher is aimed at helping low to middle income individuals and families pay a large portion of their housing rent.  I highly encourage anyone that is going through difficult times and is in need of housing assistance to please apply to the program.  The RentBetter program is limited to 40,000 vouchers and it is expected that more than 100,000 people will apply for a voucher.  As a result of the high volume of applicants, the recipients of the voucher will be chosen based on eligibility and a lottery.  Eligibility for a voucher depends on total yearly income which can have a maximum range limit of $26,000 for an individual and $50,000 for a family of eight.  For more information on the program or for application assistance please contact:

31st Ward Office 4502 W. Fullerton 773-276-9100
