About THRESHOLDS II
THRESHOLDS II is a HUD-assisted rental property in Chicago, Illinois. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 19 total units, of which 18 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Section 202 / 811 Supportive Housing. That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
A significant share of residents — about 100% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
If you'd like to apply, contact the property's management office below. Project-based Section 8 waiting lists are managed by the property, not by your local public housing authority — you must apply to each building separately.

How to apply
Project-based Section 8 properties keep their own waiting lists. To apply to THRESHOLDS II:
- Call the management office at the number above (or use the contact below) and ask whether the waiting list is open.
- Request an application packet. Most properties will mail or email it; some require you to pick it up in person.

- Update your contact information any time you move or change phone numbers — properties remove applicants who can't be reached.
