Objective
RHSP Admin capped by administrative rule at 7 percent of the Rental Assistance Support Program appropriation. The Rental Housing Support Program (RHSP) was created in July 2005 to provide rental assistance to Illinois households by subsidizing rental housing units. It is a unit-based program targeting households who are at-or-below 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) in their areas. A total of 50 percent of the resources are available for extremely low-income households who are at-or-below 15 percent of their AMI. IHDA administers the program overall, but contracts with local administering agencies (LAAs) around the state who manage the program in their communities, including finding and screening tenants. LAAs are funded in 3-year cycles. Funding for RHSP is derived from a $9 county-level mortgage documents recordation fee. The city of Chicago receives a statutory sub-allocation each year (43 percent). The Trust Fund administration resources are used for duly diligent underwriting, as well as required monitoring of the physical, financial and regulatory compliance for all Trust Fund grants loans in the IHDA portfolio, including audits, site visits and other monitoring activities. The Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund Program resources are used to provide loans and grants for the acquisition, rehabilitation and development of affordable rental housing, as well as neighborhood stabilization, homeownership and home rehabilitation programs for low- and very low-income families. The Capital Bill included funding for the development of affordable housing grants, loans, and investments for low-income families, low-income senior citizens, low-income persons with disabilities and at risk displaced veterans. The Capital Bill also includes the sum of $20 million for grants to municipalities with populations over 1,000,000 for vacant and abandoned residential housing. Legislation approved this as Public Act 101-0638, Section 385.
