Those who require a reasonable accommodation for a disability that prevents them from participating in the application process can submit their request in writing on or before Feb. 21 to: Lake County Housing Authority, Attn: HCV Waiting List Pre-Application, 33928 N. Hwy. 45, Grayslake, IL 60030.

Submission of a pre-application does not guarantee a family a spot on the waitlist. Due to the high level of interest in this open waiting list, LCHA will use a random lottery system to select 2,500 preliminary applications from all pre-applications submitted, and those selected pre-applications will be placed on the waitlist.

There is never a fee to apply for rental assistance programs operated by the Lake County Housing Authority.
