Making a Difference in Your Community

You can be a part of the solution for ending homelessness for your neighbors in Chicago!

Property Partner Support

With Chicago Rents, you will have a Landlord Engagement Coordinator help onboard your units, advertise your units free of charge, and assist you throughout the tenancy.


Financial Incentives

Chicago Rents can provide financial incentives for qualifying units in tight rental markets. Please contact your Landlord Engagement Coordinator to learn more and find out if your units are eligible. 

Referral Program

If you successfully refer a colleague to work with Chicago Rents, you will be entered in a quarterly raffle to win a $50 gift card! To be entered, the successful referral must note that you referred them, onboard with us, and have one unit available to be shown at an Accelerated Moving Event (AME).

Guaranteed Rent

Property partners are guaranteed rent payments from Chicago Rents. If a tenant is unable to pay their portion, Chicago Rents will aid in making prompt payments as long as the tenant is eligible with the program.

Filled Vacancies

Chicago Rents connects property partners with tenants and supplies rental assistance as needed. 

Chicago Rents has teamed up with the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) to connect property partners with tenants with housing vouchers. Benefits include: 

  • Long-Term Subsidies – CHA’s programs allow property partners to build long-term relationships with their tenants. 
  • Timely Payments – CHA will make timely payments using direct deposit, allowing rent to be deposited straight into your account. 

Teaming up with housing partners across the city, Chicago Rents is proud to offer the CoC Housing Identification (CHI) program to property partners. Benefits include:  

  • Multiple Program Options – Chicago Rents will make your units available to a wide variety of programs. If your unit is selected, you will have the opportunity to see if the program is a good fit for your needs.  
  • Housing Assistance – Programs will assist with case management, rental payments, and issues that may arise.  

* All Chicago is not the paying entity for the CHI Program 

Combining rental assistance with case management services, the Expedited Housing Initiative (EHI) connects property partners with tenants and supplies rental assistance as needed. Benefits include: 

  • Tenant Case Management – Tenants receive supportive services for the duration of the lease from trained staff. 
  • Landlord Risk Mitigation Fund – In case of damages, property partners can receive funds to repair units. 
  • Timely Payments – Chicago Rents will make prompt payments with the option of direct deposit, allowing rent payments to be deposited straight into your account.  


Marblestone Testimonial

Above all, I think the staff at All Chicago, particularly Erik, Susanna, and Hal have been welcoming and super helpful to navigate around the issues that come up. They have always tried to work through problems that arise in a fair and respectful fashion. They have allowed our business to help owners who want to keep units occupied and invest in the greater mission of ending homelessness. One unit at a time! 


WHB Management Testimonial

Chicago Rents keeps me well-informed with updates as they occur, and they are very responsive to any questions or concerns around the process. I especially look forward to the Advisory Council meetings. It’s an opportunity to learn from others and provide feedback to Chicago Rents. All Chicago is an excellent organization to work with and I would recommend it to others interested in working with them.


Foundation Enterprises, LLC Testimonial

Our mission at Foundation Enterprises, LLC is to provide high quality, affordable housing and superior customer service to our residents in the pursuit of uplifting families, neighborhoods, and communities. This lines up with All Chicago’s mission and has been the basis for our strong partnership. Providing great service and quality affordable housing to help end homelessness goes beyond the individual and can be a great catalyst for change in Chicago’s neighborhoods and communities.

Rental Assistance with Case Manager

This program offers rental assistance and supportive services, ensuring housing stability and providing connections to community-based support.

  • Expedited Housing Initiative (EHI): A rental subsidy program that guarantees 100% of rent is paid for the duration of a 12-month lease, with dedicated case managers supporting the tenant in attaining long-term housing stability. 

Rental Assistance without Case Manager

These programs offer long-term housing subsidies with an income-based tenant portion.  

  • Chicago Low Income Housing Trust Fund (CLIHTF) Rental Subsidy Program (RSP): A long-term housing subsidy that is attached to a housing unit and requires a tenant with qualifying income. 
  • Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV): A long-term housing voucher in collaboration with the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) similar to the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program.
