IHDA Grant*

This program provides grants to owners of HCBA-Certified Bungalows who have restricted incomes. These funds, provided by the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA), may be used for code-compliant rehab work.

Apply for the certification of your Historic Chicago Bungalow. Only owners who have certified their bungalows with the HCBA may be eligible for the funding incentives.

All of your exterior rehabilitation plans must conform to the Historic Chicago Bungalow design guidelines. Your entire project must receive design approval from the HCBA before work begins. Materials and labor qualify for funding.

*The IHDA grant is subject to available funding.
