Freedom Village

The Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) will be opening site-based wait lists for one- and two-bedroom project-based voucher (PBV) units at Freedom Village, a senior housing community, located at 935 Maple Avenue in Homewood IL 60430. To be eligible for Freedom Village, you must be 62 years of age or older. 


The PBV Program is a rental assistance program where the resident pays 30% of his/her income towards the rent. To be eligible for the one- and two-bedroom units, the head of household, cohead, or spouse must be at least 62 years of age. Additionally, the applicant’s household income may not exceed the very low-income limit (50% AMI), which is as follows: 

$39,250 for a 1 person household

$44,850 for a 2 person household

$50,450 for a 3 person household

$56,050 for a 4 person household

The maximum occupancy standard is 2 people per bedroom. Families with more than 4 people will not qualify. Families are assigned a unit size based on the HACC’s subsidy standards. Applications will be available beginning on Monday, July 29, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.


To apply, applicants need to log onto the HACC’s website at www.thehacc.org. Scroll down and click “Open Wait List” on the HACC’s home page. Select the desired property and then click “Apply to Wait List.” The wait list will close at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 1, 2024. 


Applications must be submitted electronically through the website; no other form of application will be accepted. All completed applications will be accepted, but only 150 applicants for onebedroom units and 75 applicants for two- bedroom units will be placed on the waitlist. A computer-generated lottery system will be used to determine which applicants are selected and the order in which they are placed on the waiting list. For those selected, applicants who are currently on the HACC’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program wait list will receive a preference. 


If you need assistance or require a reasonable accommodation, please send an email to pbvwaitlist@thehacc.org, with Freedom Village Reasonable Accommodation as the subject.
