The Property Rental Assistance (PRA) Program aims to increase high-quality affordable housing in healthy and revitalizing neighborhoods throughout the city of Chicago. The PRA Program provides rental assistance to owners and developers of selected properties for specified units under a 5- to 30-year contract.
