Cook County's Continuum of Care partners with Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) on Home Illinois Project Homekey-style hotel-to-housing conversions. Bridge housing siting follows local zoning; many suburbs treat it as group living or supportive housing under home-rule code.
Cook County does not operate its own bridge housing program but funds providers through the suburban CoC IL-510 and refers participants to IHDA's Home Illinois initiative, which has converted hotels in suburban Cook (Tinley Park, Hoffman Estates) to permanent supportive housing using ARPA and Project Homekey-style funding. Each suburb's zoning code controls siting: most treat bridge or interim housing as group living, supportive housing, or transitional shelter, often requiring conditional use permits under the local Ch. 102 zoning code. The Illinois Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act (310 ILCS 67) overrides exclusionary zoning in non-compliant suburbs. Federal Fair Housing Act protects siting against disparate-impact challenges.
Operating bridge housing without required conditional use permit triggers municipal zoning enforcement, fines $100-$1,000 per day, and possible cease-operation orders. Discriminatory denial may violate FHA and trigger HUD complaints.
