At this time, the IL Housing Guide website is being revamped but is still open for limited access. Also, guides for all four counties are being updated as well, Winnebago and Stephenson County are completed. 

IL Housing Guide is a guided search that connects people to housing resources from rental assistance, to homebuyer support, to legal aid. The site's resources have expanded and there are now resources listed for four Northern Illinois counties: Boone, Ogle, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties! With a few simple questions, the site will list resources best for the unique situation you are in! To get started go to www.ilhousingguide.org 

Thank you Community Foundation of Northern Illinois! Your support made this housing resource guide a reality!

For services providers, HomeStart has created a business card with the web address on it to give to clients and community members to utilize. We also have printed the resource guides for each county. If you would like business cards to provide to your clients, or would like resource guide handouts with housing resources listed on a full page, you can request these here. Fill the form and send it to This email address is being protected from spambots.
