Scale profile for DuPage Housing Authority

With 3,360 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, DuPage Housing Authority sits at the 92nd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 97th percentile inside IL.

Across IL's 83 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $916–$2,050/month (median $916).
