Chicago is a huge city, bustling with people, but not all of them are successful in what they do. Some of them are just starting out and have very little money. Some of them are elderly and living off of social security. Others are right in the middle and they have families to take care of. With the job market problems and the housing crisis, a lot of people are finding that they don't have the purchasing power that they used to, and some of them are losing their homes or selling them deliberately to get out from under the payments that they had.
With that being the case, more people need low income apartments in the Chicago area, just like in many other areas of the country. If you're one of those people, help is on the way if you meet the criteria for the housing. That criteria is based on how much money you make and the size of your family. Obviously, people who have to take care of larger families can make more money than a single person and still not be able to pay rent because their utility bills and food bills are generally higher.
For people who need help with their housing, the low income apartments that Chicago has can be a real blessing. They offer a safe, clean, decent place to stay, and the people who live there are required to pay about thirty percent of their income for their rent and utilities. The government subsidizes the rest. Not just any apartments qualify for this, either. People who live in large, expensive apartments cannot continue to live there and have the government pay most of their rent and utility expenses.
If they are making considerably less money they will have to move to an apartment that's approved for low income housing and apply for assistance just like anyone else. That helps to keep things fair for all people who need a little extra help with their housing needs. The size of a family is important for another reason, as well. People with larger families get larger apartments, but there are still limits on how many people can live in one space, so overcrowding has to be avoided.
