Our Impact

Since 1986, Housing Action Illinois has been working to expand and protect affordable housing and end homelessness in Illinois.

Our Work by the Numbers

Every day, on our own and through coalition work with partners, we continue to help low- to moderate-income homeowners, renters, and people experiencing homelessness.

Why Our Work Matters

We believe that housing is a human right and understand expanding affordable housing as a matter of racial and economic justice.

We want to see all communities thrive, and we will continue our work until all Illinois residents have a stable place to call home.

When we work together, we can close the housing gaps in Illinois. 

Together, we can make sure our friends and neighbors have the housing access and support they need:

Rapid rehousing and supportive housing units

Affordable rental homes for extremely low-income households

Is the wage a full-time renter must earn to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment in Illinois

Emergency shelter beds short statewide in Illinois
