MetroLinks for Jobs and Housing:
The BackgroundWhen HUD made new Welfare to Work Vouchers Available in
1999:
• Illinois was the 3rd highest TANF population in the nation,
Only 16 % of Illinois’ welfare recipients receives housing assistance, compared to 23% of TANF families nationwide.
Metropolitan Chicago was home to approximately 74 percent of Illinois' TANF clients, 58 percent of whom live in the City of Chicago.
4 out of 5 TANF recipients in metropolitan Chicago, or 67,000 households, received no housing assistance
Metropolitan Planning Council
MetroLinks for Jobs and Housing: The Goals
Help 1,025 TANF families living in Chicago and Cook, DuPage and Lake Counties obtain and/or retain employment by providing them with housing assistance and related services.
Track the progress of these families, and monitor and share results in order to contribute to policy development within a new welfare environment.
Provide counseling to insure that all participating families are supported in making an informed choice about their housing.

MetroLinks for Jobs and Housing: The Status Report
All 1025 of the vouchers have been leased, and then some.
Data is all preliminary, and the Collaborative continues to lay the infrastructure for needed regional and service coordination
MetroLinks families haven’t made the same percentage of opportunity moves as CHAC’s 2nd movers, but are ahead of the curve in terms of the overall voucher population.
The TANF families involved have made a higher percentage of “opportunity moves” than CHA families

Qualified developers who set aside a portion of their new rental developments for very- low income households get a competitive edge in IHDA’s Tax Credit process
328 subsidies to be available
