The Illinois Housing Development Authority’s mission is to finance the creation and preservation of affordable housing in Illinois.

As an independent, self-supporting agency, we administer a number of state and federal resources and issue bonds based on our own strong credit rating. Our programs allow families to buy and maintain affordable homes and our investments result in quality developments that generate jobs and dollars for the state’s economy. IHDA invested $1.4 billion in 10,037 units of affordable housing in FY2016, generating $639 million for Illinois’ economy, creating 7,400 jobs and helping families find quality, affordable homes throughout the state.
