The Advocates for Access Housing Lists include a variety of apartment complexes in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, and Fulton counties. These lists are a good starting point for those seeking income-based/subsidized housing. Income-based/subsidized housing typically charges approximately 30% of a household's income (if any) in rent and includes a utility allowance to assist with energy bills. Most complexes do not require any income. Some complexes include energy in the rent. Income-based housing can either be open to the general public or targeted to specific populations. Populations for which there can be additional income-based housing opportunities are as follows: -Those age 18+ with a disabling condition (this typically could be a physical, mental, or developmental condition). Please note that often a person does NOT need to be receiving SSI or SSDI; they just must have a mental health or medical professional verify that they experience a condition (the apartment complex is not allowed to ask what the condition is). -Those age 18+ with a mobility disability (can often include heart and/or lung conditions). Please note that a person does NOT need to be receiving SSI or SSDI; they just must have a doctor verify that they experience a condition (the apartment complex is not allowed to ask what the condition is). -Those age 50+, 55+, 62+, or 65+, regardless of presence of a disabling condition. ------------------------------------ To view income-based housing options in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford and Fulton counties, please visit the link in this profile and select the county you are interested in (you may apply to housing anywhere). Then look for a "Yes" in the "Subsidized" column. If there is also a "Yes" in the "Elderly Only" column, this means that the housing site is only open to someone who is of a certain age. If the "Elderly Only" column says "Yes+mob. disability," this mean the complex is open to both people of a certain age and people who are age 18+ with a mobility disability (AND the complex might also accept people with OTHER kinds of disabling conditions, such as mental health, developmental, and other physical). Please contact the complex/housing provider for further details. --------------------------------------- A few other pieces of information that might be helpful: -One-bedroom subsidized apartments will allow two occupants (sometimes there is more flexibility for children), and only the head of household needs to meet the qualifying condition. -To speed up the process, it is recommended to submit applications to at least a few complexes at a time. -All complexes will require ID, birth certificate, Social Security card, and verification of any income. If you need help obtaining these documents, please see below-- *Individuals experiencing homelessness may be able to receive a free ID and birth certificate. Forms for each must be completed with the assistance of a homeless service provider. *Birth Certificate Form: Please copy and paste this address in your internet browser-- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZoTdXMcOB1EubYTlemk3moWN3aOKKpL2/view?usp=drive_link *ID Form: Please copy and paste this address in your internet browser-- https://www.ilsos.gov/content/dam/publications/pdf_publications/dsd_a230.pdf If staying at a shelter or working with a street outreach team, they will be able to assist with these forms. *In addition, First United Methodist Church in Peoria can potentially assist with IDs and birth certificates, regardless of housing status.
