About This Building

Overview of Housing Assistance Programs Low Income Housing Assistance The Waukegan Housing Authority is dedicated to providing housing assistance to individuals with low income. Through the management of various programs such as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8, eligible residents can find suitable accommodations. Income-Based Programs Both the Low Rent Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher Program are income-based, ensuring that those with the greatest financial need receive priority. The eligibility guidelines for these programs are established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Waiting Lists and Application Process Due to the overwhelming demand for housing assistance, there may be waiting lists for both rentals and vouchers. Occasionally, these waiting lists may be temporarily closed to new applicants, depending on their size and the length of wait. To determine your eligibility, learn about the availability of rentals or vouchers, and inquire about the status of waiting lists, it is advisable to contact the Housing Authority directly. Obtaining More Information For further information about eligibility requirements, application procedures, and any updates, reach out to the Housing Authority directly. They will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information on the availability of housing assistance. Important Notice: Current Status of Waiting Lists Please note that as of August 2011, the Housing Authority's website has stated that the HCV - Section 8 waiting list is closed to new applicants.
