The Chicago Department of Housing (DOH) announced an investment of more than $300 million in 15 affordable housing developments across the city as part of the 2025 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). The 15 developments will create or preserve 1,223 housing units, 1,164 of which will be affordable.  The total development costs for the 15 developments are estimated at $711 million, which incorporate public and private resources. This includes approximately $16 million in LIHTC, which will generate an estimated $100 million in private equity, and an estimated $300 million from City financial assistance.  When projects receive LIHTC or City assistance, they enter into agreements that guarantee 30 years of affordability for tenants.  The 2025 awardees are:
