Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund seeks to fund rental subsidies in properties throughout the City of Chicago that will provide safe and well-maintained housing to Chicago’s low-income citizens. It is property owners that apply to the Trust Fund to participate in the Rental Subsidy or Multi-year Affordability through Upfront Investment (MAUI) programs. Property owners then lease units to income-qualified households.
