Portability

Port In: At this time all incoming portability requests for regular Housing Choice Vouchers are being absorbed. Please send all port files via email to admissions@jcha-il.org. Once file is received, JCHA staff will reach out to participant and schedule an in-person pre-certification & briefing appointment. If it is determined during this appointment that you are eligible, you will be given a voucher and other necessary documents the same day so that you can begin searching for a new home within JCHA's jurisdiction.

Port Out: Before porting out, all tenants must complete the Request for Portability form with their current Landlord and turn in to their Case Manager. If the port request is approved, the file will then be prepared and sent to the receiving PHA. 

===========================================

 Move Arounds

Current tenants who wish to move to another unit must fill out the Request to Move form with their current Landlord and turn in to their Case Manager. If your request to move is approved, then you will be given a landlord list and a Request for Tenancy Approval form (RFTA). You may also be asked to attend a brief meeting in the office to update paperwork required for your file. 

Once a rental is found the RFTA must be completed by the Landlord and turned in to your Case Manager. Your RFTA will be reviewed and if approved an inspection will be scheduled. Once the inspection is completed and the unit has passed, we will process your new move in the system and send documentation via mail to you and your landlord reflecting your new rent portions.
