Success comes from stability. At McHenry County Housing Authority, we not only unlock the doors to affordable housing, we provide wraparound services needed in our community to keep people stably housed.
Working with our partners, we address the current and long-term needs of McHenry County residents through a number of programs, including housing, dental care, energy efficiency programs, rental assistance and home repair services.
The section 8 program would not exist without our partner landlords. The Housing Choice Voucher Program and its’ landlords help families afford decent, stable housing, avoid homelessness, and make ends meet.
We exist to assist low-income individuals and families to maintain an affordable, sanitary, and decent living environment, and to provide them with the means to avoid crisis situations and achieve economic independence.
Attention Housing Choice Voucher/Project Based Voucher Landlord ~ The McHenry County Housing Authority’s (MCHA’s) December 2025 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) to landlords have been delayed. HUD has not released our full December 2025 HAP funding. Yesterday’s notice advised that our HAP funding should be deposited by next week. MCHA is ready to process our December 2025 HAP payments to landlords as soon as our funding is deposited into our bank account. We apologize for the unexpected delay.
