Aurora, Mount Prospect, McHenry County to share HUD money
Chicago and other communities throughout Illinois will share nearly $117 million in funding through programs administered by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In a news release, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin's office says programs in Chicago will get most of the money. Other communities that will see money from HUD include Aurora, DeKalb, Evanston, Moline, Mount Prospect, Oak Lawn, Oak Park, Peoria, Rock Island, Rockford and McHenry County.
The money will go toward programs that focus on housing for low and moderate income people and emergency shelters. One program in Chicago assists people with HIV or AIDS and their families with housing issues.
