How to transfer your Housing Choice Voucher from another Housing Authority to the Village of Oak Park
If you wish to transfer your Housing Choice Voucher from another Housing Authority to the
Village of Oak Park, please call your present Housing Authority and have the following
information sent to the Oak Park Housing Authority:
- Current Voucher
- Family Portability Information - HUD Form 52665
- Family Report - HUD Form 50058 and related verification information and income and asset documents
- Birth certificates and Social Security cards for all household members
After we have received the above information from your Housing Authority, you may attend one of our Portability
Briefings. Portability Briefings are held the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month and begin at 9:00 a.m. Please
be on time. No one will be admitted to the briefing after 9:00 a.m.
Our Office is located at 21 South Boulevard in Oak Park, Illinois, just west of Austin Boulevard and on the south
side of the CTA's elevated Green Line train.
Again, please be prompt so that we can assist you with your transfer. Due to the length of the briefings, we ask that you
do not bring children.
Due to the restriction of funding, the Oak Park Housing Authority is not absorbing any portable vouchers at this time.
The Oak Park Housing Authority will bill the housing authority you are porting from. Our current Payment Standards can be viewed
on this website.
To assist you in your search for housing within the Village of Oak Park, you may contact or vist the Oak Park Regional Housing Center,
1041 South Blvd., Oak Park, IL, (708) 848-7150. Their website is www.apartmentsoakpark.org.

dingy spaces for my large family."
