Residents in Family Public Housing may request to transfer to a different public housing unit. If you have questions or need help, your property manager is available to assist.
Who Can Transfer?
Residents in Family Public Housing who have lived in their unit for at least one year are eligible to apply to a resident transfer waitlist. These residents must have followed lease rules, paid rent on time, and maintained their current unit without active housekeeping violations.
How Do I Request a Transfer?
- Residents in the Family Public Housing program should visit the website: https://FPHresidenttransferWL.thecha.org
- Log in with your CHA client information.
- Select your desired public housing property.
- You will then be added to the waitlist for that property.
If you need help, reach out to your property manager.
Can Senior Housing Residents Transfer?
The Family Public Housing Resident Transfer waitlist is only available to residents in the Family Public Housing program.
How Long Will It Take?
The wait time depends on when you applied and if a unit becomes available for the waitlist in which you applied. You will be contacted when you have reached the top of the waitlist.
Who Pays for Moving Expenses for Family Public Housing Residents?
- Gautreaux Transfers: CHA will cover moving expenses if you are moving from certain low-income community areas to designated revitalizing or opportunity areas in Chicago.
- Non-Gautreaux Transfers: CHA will not cover moving expenses for such transfers.
