The Department of Housing offers a number of programs and services to prospective home buyers in the city of Chicago.
The Down Payment Assistance Program (DPA) helps families with upfront costs of buying a home. CHA residents are eligible for a $20,000 grant. However, CHA residents who receive a grant will be transitioned off of their subsidy. If you are not a CHA resident, but are an Illinois resident or moving to Chicago, you are eligible for a $10,000 grant.
Homeownership is an incredibly important part of people’s lives. We champion racial and economic equity as a tool to uplift communities. We’re working to create thriving, mixed-income neighborhoods of choice and prosperous communities residents are proud to call home.
Habitat Chicago’s Affordable Homeownership Program is designed for the long term health and stability of Chicago households and neighborhoods. Every household has its own unique needs, and making the choice to enter into and complete a homeownership program is a personal one. Read on to understand every component of our program so you can make the best decision for your own household.
