Friedman Place Rent Assistance Program

For Adults who are Blind or Visually Impaired

 

Friedman Place is a non-profit that primarily provides housing and supportive services similar to what is found in assisted living programs to adults who are blind or visually impaired on the Northside of Chicago. The agency also provides case management services to people who are blind throughout Illinois.  

 

We also offer the Rent Assistance Program, which financially supports Illinois residents eighteen years and older who are blind and have low incomes so that they may remain and succeed in the community in their own rented apartments, houses, or rooms. Ongoing rent subsidies are 50% of the individual’s rent up to $300 each month.

 

Main Eligibility Requirements 

 

·         Legal blindness 

 

·         Annual Income at 200% or less of the Federal Poverty Level

o   $25,520 for a one person household (2021)

o   $34,480 for a two person household (2021)

o   $43,440 for a three person household (2021)

 

·         Living and renting in Illinois for at least three months

 

·         Not receiving other housing subsidies such as a Housing Voucher or living in a low-income housing program, long-term care program, or any other residential program.
