The Rockford Housing Authority provides assistance through a variety of programs established by Congress and funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These programs include:

Low Income Public Housing
Public Housing provides assistance for low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities. In Rockford, this program includes a variety of housing opportunities, including multi-family developments, high-rise towers and scattered site homes. The Rockford Housing Authority's low-income public housing program includes four family developments that consist of one-to-six bedroom apartments totaling 669 units. Also included are four high-rise towers, which house elderly residents and residents with disabilities. These apartments house approximately 1,000 families.

The Rockford Housing Authority has made a commitment to develop housing for persons with special needs. Under the low-income public housing programs, three developments were developed to accommodate persons with disabilities.

The Rockford Housing Authority also has a very active scattered site rental program that consists of single-family and duplex homes located throughout Rockford. The RHA owns and maintains 333 scattered site homes under the low income public housing program.

Important information
Waiting Lists
Most low income apartments have waiting lists. Some of these lists can take years until you can be called for openings. The key is to try to get on as many waiting lists as possible.
