Oasis Senior Living
10860 S Vincennes Ave, Chicago, IL 60643
Oasis Senior Living is an income-based apartment property for people with disabilities at 10860 S Vincennes Ave in Chicago, IL. All 218 apartments are subsidized, in studio and 1-bedroom sizes. The rent assistance belongs to the apartment, so you apply to the property itself and you do not need a voucher.
How to apply to Oasis Senior Living
- Call the property office at (773) 238-8380 and ask whether the waiting list is open.
- Ask for an application. The property keeps its own waiting list; the housing authority's voucher list is a different line.
- Have ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income ready for everyone in the household. The office verifies income before it offers an apartment.
VoucherMatch does not take applications for this property and cannot tell you whether an apartment is open today. The office can.

At least 40% of assisted units becoming available in a fiscal year must go to extremely low income households. The applicable admission rules depend on the contract; the office verifies eligibility (24 CFR 5.653).

If you already have a housing voucher
A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 218 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Chicago who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in Cook County.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I apply to Oasis Senior Living?
- Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (773) 238-8380 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Oasis Senior Living keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
- What is the income limit for Oasis Senior Living?
- Most admissions to project-based Section 8 are for very low income households (50% of area median or less). Limited admissions above that level may be allowed within the low income limit. At least 40% of assisted units becoming available in a fiscal year must go to extremely low income households. The applicable admission rules depend on the contract; the office verifies eligibility (24 CFR 5.653). In Cook County the FY2026 very low income limit is $42,550 a year for one person and $60,750 for a household of four.
- How much is rent at Oasis Senior Living?
- Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and HUD pays the rest to the property. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $377 a month toward rent and utilities. This historical average is not a current rent quote. Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
- Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Oasis Senior Living?
- No. This is Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. A Housing Choice Voucher cannot be combined with an apartment that already has project-based assistance.
