Welcome
Need Help with Rent?
Everyone faces difficult seasons, and sometimes unexpected challenges can make it harder to keep up with housing expenses. If you are experiencing financial hardship, support may be available.
The City of Chicago's Rental Assistance Program (RAP) helps eligible residents access resources that can provide temporary rental assistance and help individuals and families maintain stable housing during challenging times.
Seeking help is a sign of strength, and there are resources available to help you navigate life's unexpected circumstances. We encourage community members who may need assistance to explore this opportunity and learn more about available support.
