CHICAGO Illinois Gov. J-B Pritzker on Monday announced $1.5 billion in assistance for renters and landlords that have struggled during the pandemic.
Through the Illinois Rental Payment Program, the governor says, approved applicants can get up to $25,000 for rent due as far back as last June and to pre-pay through this August.
But, Pritzker said renter’s assistance is only one piece of the announcement.
“Later this summer, we’ll provide an additional $400 million, on top of the $1.5 million for renters, for mortgage assistance,” Pritzker said.
Pritzker added, Illinois’ current eviction moratorium will be phased out by August.

A group of Illinois county clerks opposing a hike in a document fee coincides with an audit of the Housing Development Authority that found inaccurate financial reporting.
Lawmakers are considering legislation that would double the fee for documents obtained through Recorder of Deeds offices from $9 to $18, and the money is supposed to be distributed to the Rental Housing Support Program throughout the state.
Tazewell County Clerk John Ackerman said his county hasn’t received any grants from the program in the last decade despite contributing nearly $1 million in fees. Two of the 10 clerks opposed to the fee hike say their county has received grants from the program.

(WXYZ) â Much-needed help is coming for thousands of metro Detroit families worried about eviction.
The state s Housing Development Authority announced $622 million in federal money to keep Michiganders in their homes. It s expected to help around $50,000 households, just as the federal eviction moratorium is about to expire. It s in place through the end of the month.
This new program, COVID emergency rental assistance (CERA), is replacing the state s eviction dispersion program which ended in December. That program is estimated to have helped around 15,000 households, so the scope of this is significant.
