Contract and Leases – Once a unit passes the HQS inspection and meets program requirements, the tenancy can be approved. The HAJ case worker will contact the owner and tenant to schedule the “signing briefing” to be conducted at 6 S. Broadway Street, Joliet. The owner and tenant will enter into a lease together and the HAJ will enter into a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Agreement with the owner.
After the HAP contract and lease agreement is signed, the HAJ will make payments to the owner as long as the family continues to meet eligibility criteria and the housing unit qualifies under the program regulations.
If you are interested in listing your units, you may complete this form and send it into the HAJ for our available unit listing or you can list it at GoSection8.com – there is no cost to list your units in either location. Any interested families will then contact you for an appointment to see your housing unit(s). The Housing Authority of Joliet will not steer families to specific owners or rental units, but we will provide families with information on units that are available.
Landlord Access is a secure web-based tool, available 24/7, where property owners and managers can access Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) details relating to properties currently under contract with the Housing Choice Voucher program.
