Landlord Recruitment
Landlord Involvement with Housing Programs:
The Housing Authority of Park Forest (HAPF) is always looking for landlords whose property could be utilized in conjunction with the Housing Choice Voucher program. HAPF's portion of the rent is guaranteed, and the landlord retains control of the property. Call 708-503-7734 for more information, or stop by the office to pick up the Landlord Informational Packet. The Housing Authority of Park appreciates all current landlords and invites new landlords to join the team. Together, a vital difference can be made in a person's life.
Housing Discrimination Reminder
All landlords, property managers, and property owners are reminded that it is against the law to discriminate (refuse to rent) to someone on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Tenants/renters who believe they have been discriminated against on one of the above-stated aspects, regardless of whether they are on the HAPF's HCV program, may obtain a Housing Discrimination Complaint form from the HAPF office (form HUD-903). The Village of Park Forest and the Housing Authority of Park Forest aim to ensure everyone has fair housing opportunities.
