Chicago Housing Authority Policy Changes Allow Owners To Requaliry Rental Units

摘要

The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) has made changes to its Section 8 voucher program inspection standards that will allow landlords to requalify rental housing that has failed past inspections and to qualify units that previously were eliminated due to neighborhood conditions. The changes expand the potential inventory of units that can participate in the program.rnDuring the past few years, apartments were ineligible for the voucher program if they were on a block with three or more abandoned buildings, three or more vacant lots, or visible or documented drug activity. CHA said that these criteria will no longer be emphasized.
