HACC is now taking wait-list applications

The Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federal program that provides rental assistance to low-income families in the private rental market through the Housing Assistance Payments Program. This program is a win-win for both the landlords and the tenants. Landlords still have the ability to choose their tenants, but, if they select a tenant receiving rental assistance, they are assured of receiving a subsidy payment made directly to them.

At this time, the waitlist for the HCV program is closed and HACC is not accepting new applications.
The Housing Authority of Champaign County is accepting wait-list applications until the end of October.
Summited applications would be place on the wait-list for five-bedroom public housing units.


According to a post on wandtv.com, HACC Executive Director Edward Bland said there's no telling when units will open, but applicants will be randomly selected if more than thirty applications are received. Bland says the organization runs a self-sufficiency program, and that all able-bodied participants between the ages 18-54 are expected to work part-time or be in school or work training. Residents who are disabled or over age 55 are exempt.
