Building on Illinois’ COVID-19 support response for Illinois renters and landlords, the Illinois Housing Development Authority announced that applications are now open for the second round of the Illinois Rental Payment (ILRPP) program.

Applications will be accepted beginning today, December 6, 2021 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022, at illinoishousinghelp.org. IHDA will begin processing applications as they are submitted, and money from this round will begin to be distributed to approved Illinoisans before the end of the calendar year. The additional ILRPP funding is expected to assist more than 32,500 Illinois households.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision that invalidated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) eviction moratorium, HUD is using every tool at its disposal to help safeguard the millions of Americans now in danger of losing their homes. View the HUD Evictions Guidance to learn more about the actions HUD is taking to help prevent evictions.

Eviction prevention resources, tools, and training for HUD’s grantees will continue to be posted to HUD Exchange as they are available. A selection of resources include:

• Rental Housing Counseling and Eviction Prevention
• Tools for Landlords with Tenants Impacted by COVID-19
• Tenant Guidance: Rent Repayment Plans
• Homeless System Response: Strategies for Eviction Prevention
• NFHTA Forum: On the Brink: The Looming Eviction Crisis of the COVID-19 Pandemic
