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.

The scholarships can be used for up to $1500 in tuition and/or books at an accredited college, university, or trade school located in Illinois. Trade Training provides up to $17,000 to be used for training in a field that has been determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as being in high demand by employers. Thirty-day McHenry County residency criterion applies. This program is funded by a Community Services Block Grant (CSBG).
