The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) is a public housing agency based in Chicago, Illinois. Our website www.thecha.org is an information and communication technology that informs the public about the CHA’s mission and activities.
The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) continues to make steady progress on its Restore Home initiative, fully restoring and leasing several multi-family buildings and single-family homes that were previously vacant due to extensive repair needs.
To encourage property owners to quickly re-lease their compliant units to HCV participants, the Chicago Housing Authority is offering vacancy payments for those that qualify.
While the amount of a vacancy payment varies based on the length of the vacancy, property owners are eligible for up to two (2) months of the previous tenant’s Housing Assistance Payment (HAP).
