Starting in a week, Illinois will begin distribution of the next round of federal housing assistance. Illinois dispersed its COVID-19 federal housing assistance funds faster than any other state. Illinois Housing Development Authority executive director Kristin Faust says more than 57-thousand Illinois households received help catching up on rent and now more households can benefit.

The next round of federal housing assistance begins going out on November 8. More information is at IllinoisHousingHelp.org.
