ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Illinois housing authorities across the state are getting federal funding to modernize public housing.
Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced more than $150 million to build, renovate and modernize public housing across the state. The funds will come from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Capital Fund Program.
“A thriving community begins with a safe and secure place to call home,” Durbin said. “Public housing authorities are the instruments of change that help stabilize neighborhoods that have weathered storms of neglect, providing residents with the resources they need to survive.”

Duckworth said access to safe and dependable public housing is critically important for families all across Illinois.
“Along with Senator Durbin, I’m proud to advocate for federal funding that helps ensure local housing authorities have the resources they need to support and update the facilities in their communities and support residents in need,” Duckworth said.
