The City of Chicago recently announced an additional $25 million in COVID-19 rent and mortgage relief funding this month for Chicagoans impacted by coronavirus.
Deadline: COVID-19 Rental and Mortgage Assistance applications will be accepted from Monday, July 27 at 10:00AM until Friday, August 14th at 11:59PM.
Note: The original deadline was Monday, August 10th. It has been extended to Friday, August 14th.
A lottery (randomized) system will be used to select applications that will receive funding through this program.
This is intended to create a level equity and fairness. A first come, first serve system would favor applicants who happen to be more experienced using the Internet or who have all the required documents readily available.
Since a lottery system will be used, applicants who apply first will not receive higher priority.
