How to Get a Housing Grant in Chicago
- 1). Analyze your situation. You are far more likely to receive grants if you make a relatively low amount of income, if you are a teacher, police officer, paramedic or firefighter, or if your employer is providing housing assistance.
- 2). Research what grants are available. The City of Chicago's website lists available housing grants that are available to individuals and families. Read the description of the grants to find out if you qualify and learn how to apply.
- 3). Apply for a grant. You can find information on how to apply for housing grants on the City of Chicago website. Some grants have a simple application process, while others require you to submit additional information such as mortgage approval documents, bank account statements or proof of income.
