The Oak Park Housing Authority (OPHA) and the Oak Park Residence Corporation (OPRC) effectively collaborate in operating rental housing that is specifically designed to serve Oak Park’s low-income seniors. OPHA’s Mills Park Tower and OPRC’s The Oaks provide a combined total of 274 housing units for seniors who are able to live independently. Residents pay a portion of the full rental cost (30% based on their adjusted income and Federal rent subsidies provided under HUD’s Public or Multi-family Housing Programs cover the balance of the rent.
Each building maintains its own waiting list and uses a local residency (live or work) preference when servicing applicants from their waiting lists.
