The Chicago City Council has approved a new grant funding agreement with the Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund (CLIHTF) to continue administering the Rental Housing Support Program (RHSP). This program provides crucial rental assistance for affordable housing projects across the city, aiming to alleviate the shortage of safe and affordable housing for low- to moderate-income residents. The agreement authorizes the Department of Housing (DOH) to manage and disburse Program Funds to the CLIHTF, which acts as the designated Local Administering Agency (LAA). The ordinance, passed on November 14, 2025, ensures the continuation of this long-standing partnership and its vital role in supporting housing stability for vulnerable populations in Chicago.
