CHA supports Chicagoans who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness with nearly 5,000 vouchers for specific high-risk populations, including veterans. These are known as VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing) Vouchers.
The guidelines emphasize respectful and relevant contributions, allowing residents and interested parties to engage with CHA on issues within the Board’s purview while maintaining orderly and productive meetings.
If you suspect fraud, theft, waste, abuse, or misconduct related to the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), it's important to take action to protect affordable housing. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigates these issues to ensure that public resources are used properly and that everyone involved with CHA operates with integrity.
CHA residents ages 6-12 can join camps all year round with the Chicago Park District at low to no cost. There's no age limit for these programs for CHA residents with disabilities.
