Description
The Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP) Round 2, administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA), is designed to help low- and very low-income homeowners across Illinois by providing funds for critical health and safety repairs, accessibility improvements, and roof repairs. The program aims to preserve affordable housing, support community revitalization, and enable residents—especially those who are disabled or mobility-impaired—to remain safely in their homes. Funding is delivered through a statewide network of local government and nonprofit grantees, who oversee outreach, intake, and project management for eligible homeowners.
