The Rental Housing Support Program (RHS) is a newer program through Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) that provides rental assistance to households in Illinois. Similar to other housing programs, RHS subsidizes units across the state.
The RHS Program is a unit-based subsidy; meaning the assistance stays with the unit rather than with the tenant. The program will not pay for things such as security deposits, emergency rental assistance, or other costs with housing. It will only cover rent.
The Housing Authority of Henry County administers the vouchers in the counties of Henry, Bureau, and Stark.
Tenants in the program must be at or below 30% of their area's median income. Income limits are as follows:

You will pay approximately 30% of your income in rent. The program has a schedule of rents by income ranges and bedroom size. Households could pay a little more or a little less than 30% of their income.
In some cases it does, in others it does not. Some landlords will include utilities in their rent, and others will not. This will be a decision made by the landlord.
