Welcome to the Housing
Authority of the County of Cook
The Housing Authority of the County of
Cook, also known as the HACC, is the
second largest public housing authority in
Illinois. The HACC is a municipal corporation
that was established in 1946 to serve 108
communities, as well as unincorporated areas in
suburban Cook County. The Housing Authority of
the County of Cook administers several rent
assistance programs to meet the housing needs
of our rental participants. The HACC’s
conventional public housing program consists of
over 2,100 owned units of low-income housing.
The Rent Assistance Division services over
12,000 families, senior citizens, and persons
with disabilities. It also provides a
counseling program to help families consider
their full range of housing opportunities in
all parts of suburban Cook County. Other
programs such as our Mobility Assistance
Program, Family Self-Sufficiency Program, and
Home Ownership Program are designed to make a
positive difference and help participants
achieve independence. The HACC believes that,
with the partnership of public and private
resources, the goal of assisting participants
to pay for comfortable, affordable private
housing can be successfully accomplished.
