Planning and Development: Affordable Housing

Phone Number

The Freedom's Path development at the Hines VA Hospital in west suburban Cook County provides affordable housing for veterans, financed in part through HOME Investment Partnership funds.

The Cook County Department of Planning and Development leads affordable housing programs that sustain multiple housing sites for seniors, veterans, the disabled and other vulnerable populations.

The programs are supported by the following federal funding sources, all led by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD):

Relevant activities include fair housing planning/administration, development of public-private partnerships, housing development and housing services. Eligible applicants include nonprofit and private developers, current/prospective homebuyers, homeowners, and renters.

Please note: Due to HUD guidelines, Cook County affordable housing funding for programs and projects are restricted to suburban Cook County. The City of Chicago has its own affordable housing program.
