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.
McHenry County Housing Authority has received funding through the CDBG Program administered by the County of McHenry for the Single-Family Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program to assist low-income homeowners of McHenry County with Health, Safety, and accessibility issues.
To be eligible for this program, you must own and reside in your home and have a household income of no more than 50% of the area median income.
This program will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis until all designated funding is allotted to eligible homeowners.
Projects that cost under $3,000.00 qualify as no payment, no interest loans that will be forgiven over a five year recapture period. Projects costing $3001.00 and over qualify as a no payment no interest deferred payment loan that must be paid in full upon the home’s sale.
