Section 8 apartments near the CTA Red Line

The CTA Red Line runs north-south from Howard on the Rogers Park border to 95th/Dan Ryan on the Far South Side. It is the busiest and most-used L line, serving Uptown, Wrigleyville, Lakeview, the Loop, Chinatown, Bronzeville, and much of the South Side.

Voucher discrimination is illegal here

Under the Chicago Fair Housing Ordinance, it is illegal for a landlord in Chicago to refuse an applicant because they use a housing voucher. This protection is stacked with Cook County’s ordinance and Illinois state law.
