Important Memos, Please Read!
Changes in Household Size
  • Please note that property owners should immediately notify CLIHTF of any changes in household size for households occupying CLIHTF units.
  • If the household size is no longer compatible with the unit size, and there is a compatible unit at the property, the household should move to the compatible unit as soon as it becomes available.
  • If the household size is no longer compatible with the unit size, but there is NOT a compatible unit at the property, the household must relocate when the lease expires.
Special Initiative Transfer Notification for Landlords
  • The Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund has reached an agreement to transfer the management of all "Special Initiative" unit(s) to a new administrative that will be selected by the City of Chicago in 2023. The transition will be an opportunity for landlord partners to receive continuity of social services for their tenants.
  • CLIHTF will continue to communicate additional details when the administrator has been selected and when the timeline for this transition has been finalized.
  • Landlords with "Special Initiative" unit(s) should click the link below to read and download the official Special Initiative Transfer Notification, which contains updated instructions for submitting quarterly and annual submissions.
Special Thanks to Our Stakeholders!

Dear friend of the Chicago Low-Income Housing Trust Fund:

Thank you to the many stakeholders who voiced their support for HB3878 in the veto and lame duck sessions of the recent Illinois General Assembly. Thanks to our collective advocacy, both the Senate and House have passed this legislation and it will soon be sent to Governor JB Pritzker to sign this bill into law.

Many of you are very aware of the multi-year effort to get this legislation passed. We thank our legislative champions - Sen. Pacione-Zayas and Rep. Tarver - as well as our co-sponsors and members of the General Assembly who voted for this legislation. This wouldn't have been possible without the advocacy of affordable housing advocates statewide, for the tremendous outpouring of support. More people will have access to affordable housing thanks to this incredible work. Truly a team effort. Thank you.
For Property Owners: Tips for Trust Fund Central
The tips and tricks below will help property owners to navigate the Trust Fund Central portal with ease.
1. The Trust Fund Central portal is an owner-based portal. Each owner will get one username and password, and owners can share this information with the designated authorized agent(s).
2. The Trust Fund Central portal should be used on a computer or laptop. The portal is not yet compatible with smart phones.

3. The Trust Fund Central portal is most compatible with the google chrome browser.

4. The Trust Fund Central Portal only accepts PDF files and excel files.

5. If you are unable to submit digital quarterly payment requests under the "New Quarterly Submission" tab, you should upload the quarterly payment request form under the "Interim Submissions" tab.
6. Property owners are responsible for adding tenants to the portal, and for uploading each tenant's proof of income under the "Tenants Tab".
7. If you are unable to select the correct unit number for your tenant, please ask your Trust Fund Coordinator to update your property's unit information.

8. Property owners are responsible for uploading all leases, lease riders, lead disclosure forms, and Tenant Income Verification forms for households living in CLIHTF units. Property owners should have these documents on file while creating leases under the "leases tab".
9. Property owners can use the tab titled "Documents from TFC Liaison(s)" to download important documents from their CLIHTF liaisons.
10. Property Owners must email tfc@clihtf.org with any questions or concerns about the Trust Fund Central portal. Click the link to the right to send an email.
Thank You, 2023 Annual Meeting Participants!
