#IHDA
Proud to announce that IHDA is relaunching SmartBuy — bridging the financial gap for Illinoisans looking to become homeowners.

The program provides affordable fixed-rate mortgages, closing cost assistance, and up to $40K per household in student loan relief to borrowers.

Also notably BUILD does have money for IHDA

It's not just saving for a home.
It's saving for everything else too.

IHDA Access Home helps first-time home buyers in Illinois cover those upfront costs with up to $15,000 in assistance.

Making that first step feel more within reach.

BUILD plan fact of the day: $100M in capital funding through IHDA would be dedicated to middle housing construction. That would provide gap financing for the newly legalized duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and cottage clusters.

Reform + investment, working together

Hey! I am LoS and since today marks the beginning of Artfight, here's a rare SFW entry!

I use Artfight to work on skills and this year, its speed. These each took under two hours, and most of them were around 55 minutes total. Its not my best work but Im still happy with the quality vs time

B. Placing CHA rental subsidies in non-CHA developments awarded funding by DOH and IHDA as a default, rather than in special circumstances

C. Following the lead of other states in creating a tax exemption for mixed-income public housing developments

Low-affordability towns have to submit plans to the state every 5 years explaining how they'll add more options. Many ignore this requirement altogether — others submit vague plans with little accountability.
You can see each town's submission here:

Say it louder for my colleagues please. They keep on insisting that I 'correct' this. I concede when it isn't super important.

In Qirāʾāt it also leads to lots of silliness.

Like, how are we supposed to tell the public that Ibn Muḥayṣin reads the feminine of ʾaḥad as iḥdā as opposed to ʾiḥdā?

While we can never undo or make up for the harm that was done to our communities when our schools were closed, we can decide what comes next. And what comes next must be investments in opportunity, stability, and dignity.

Housing is the single largest expense for most families. We’re working to make it more affordable.

Something powerful is taking shape on Springfield’s East Side, rising from a vision sparked nearly two decades ago. IHDA was proud to join community partners for the groundbreaking of Nehemiah Affordable Homes Phase V, bringing more family-focused homes to the neighborhood.
