Permanent Supportive Housing
At IHDA, we believe every person, regardless of illness or limitation, should have the freedom to choose to live as independently as possible in settings appropriate to their own personal needs and preferences. That is why we commit significant resources to the development of permanent affordable housing that offers elective supportive services that allow residents to achieve long-term housing stability.
If you are interested in developing supportive housing but don’t know where to begin, check out the tools and resources in the side bar for assistance.

2024 Round XI Request for Applications
2024 Permanent Supportive Housing Development Program Round XI Request for Applications
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (“IHDA”) has released the request for applications (“RFA”) under its Permanent Supportive Housing (“PSH”) Development Program Round XI. Financing is available for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and/or new construction of PSH projects that serve the most vulnerable populations and that offer flexible, voluntary supportive services designed to increase housing stability.
IHDA expects most applications will be for PSH projects of 40 or fewer units where at least 50% of the units are PSH units, and that requests will generally be up to 90% of the total project cost. Applicants are required to submit a Preliminary Project Assessment (PPA), as outlined in the RFA, prior to submitting an application.
All interested applicants MUST submit a complete Preliminary Project Assessment by Monday, October 7, 2024. Please review the Request for Applications for specific requirements of the PPA.
Applications are due to IHDA by 5:00 p.m. CST on Thursday, February 13, 2025.
