DuPage proposes $710 million budget with housing aid

DuPage County has proposed a budget that includes funding for first-time homebuyers and rental assistance.

Housing programs included

The proposal addresses two housing needs: helping people buy a first home and helping renters. The budget’s inclusion of both programs places homeownership assistance and rental support within the county’s proposed spending plan.

The proposal does not establish the final budget by itself. It is a plan for county spending that must move through the county’s budget process before it becomes final.

What the proposal would do

Funding for first-time homebuyers could support people seeking to purchase a home. Rental assistance would support renters who need help with housing costs. The proposal identifies both areas for county funding but does not establish program details in the information available here.

County budget process

The figure covers the full proposed DuPage County budget, while the housing programs are individual parts of that plan. The county’s budget process will determine whether the proposal is adopted and what final funding arrangements apply.

What residents can follow

Residents can follow the county’s consideration of the proposal, including any action on the overall budget and the housing programs. The final plan will show whether funding for first-time homebuyers and rental assistance remains part of the county budget.
