Access West Cook
Handicap Accessible
Public Housing and PBRA residents pay 30% of their income and HACC subsidizes the rest.
Access West Cook is scattered site housing located in the western suburbs of Cook County, including Bellwood, Berwyn, Forest Park, and Maywood. It is a mix of one and two bedroom units, some new construction and some substantial rehabilitation. The housing is privately owned and operated. The HACC provides rental assistance through its Project-based Voucher Program. Residents pay 30% of their income towards rent and the HACC subsidizes the remainder of the rent to the owner. To be eligible for Access West Cook, the head of the household, co-head, or spouse must have a verifiable disability. Additionally the household income cannot exceed 50% Area Median Income (AMI) based on the number of people residing in the unit. Some units are restricted to households earning up to 30% Area Median Income (AMI). The HACC will determine eligibility for the PBV Program and the owner will determine suitability for tenancy.

HCV Programs are funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and administered by public housing agencies throughout the country.
