Kane County residents can access federal dollars flowing to the county and state to pay for 15 months of rent starting no later than May 1. The county will partner with Illinois Housing Development Authority to administer the program.
Bally Vaughn Back in the day, Bally Vaughn, an apartment complex on Washington Street, was the place to be. It was one of the nicer apartment complexes in town, recalls former Ward 8 Ald. Kris Theilen. When I got out of college in 1995, Bally Vaughn was right up there with Chatham Hills and other apartments that young people wanted to live in. No more. Built in the 1960s, Bally Vaughn since has been marked by crime, loud parties, complaints to police and chain-link fence, which went up after the complex shut down seven years ago. Vacant ever since, Bally Vaughn went into foreclosure before being sold at auction in 2017 to a Florida owner who vows better things.

Elmhurst says it is exempt from a law that requires towns with less than 10 percent affordable housing to turn in plans to bring more such housing. (Google Maps)
ELMHURST, IL Elmhurst has failed to submit an affordable housing plan to the state because it says it is exempt from the law requiring such submissions, an official said Wednesday.
This issue came up after candidates for city office were asked during forums last weekend why the city has not filed an affordable housing plan, which the state says is required for towns where less than 10 percent of housing is considered affordable. Elmhurst s rate is 8.2 percent. Even the three aldermen running for mayor did not appear to know the reason behind the lack of a plan.
