About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs IHDA Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP) in its Chicago, IL research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

IHDA allocated $16 million through its Affordable Housing Trust Fund to local governments and nonprofits, who then issue grants to low- and extremely low-income Illinois homeowners for health and safety repairs, accessibility modifications, and energy efficiency upgrades. Homeowners do not apply directly to IHDA, they contact a local administering agency. The 2025 round was funded in February 2025 for a two-year program period.

Typical grant depends on scope of work identified by administering agency; no set household cap published.
