Emergency Housing Assistance Program
The Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) provides grants to low-income homeowners to repair roofs, porches and heating units that are in serious disrepair. Owners of one- to four-unit properties in Chicago must live on the property and have no other means to pay for the repairs. If the property is sold within one year of the repairs, the City requires the homeowner to repay the grant amount.
For more information, please visit: http://www.dannysolis.org/node/150 or call 311 to enroll.
