Your application paperwork
The Illinois Housing Development Authority's Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP) provides up to 40,000 to 45,000 dollars for low-income homeowners to make vital health and safety repairs and accessibility improvements so disabled or mobility-impaired residents can stay in their homes. You apply through a local grantee; demand exceeds funding, so most grantees keep a waitlist.
Steps to apply
- Confirm your household income is at or below 80 percent of the area median income and you own and occupy an eligible single-family home, condominium, or qualifying mobile home.
- Find an HRAP grantee serving your area on the IHDA website.
- Contact the grantee to apply and get on the waitlist.
- If selected, the grantee scopes the repairs (accessibility, full rehab, or roof) and manages the work.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own and occupy the home.
- Proof of household income (at or below 80 percent of area median income).
- Documentation of the accessibility or health and safety needs.
- A government-issued photo ID.
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
