  4. MetroLinks for Jobs and Housing: The Background When HUD made new Welfare to Work Vouchers Available in 1999: • Illinois was the 3rd highest TANF population in the nation, • Only 16 % of Illinois’ welfare recipients receives housing assistance, compared to 23% of TANF families nationwide. • Metropolitan Chicago was home to approximately 74 percent of Illinois' TANF clients, 58 percent of whom live in the City of Chicago. • 4 out of 5 TANF recipients in metropolitan Chicago, or 67,000 households, received no housing assistance Metropolitan Planning Council

  5. MetroLinks for Jobs and Housing: The Goals • Help 1,025 TANF families living in Chicago and Cook, DuPage and Lake Counties obtain and/or retain employment by providing them with housing assistance and related services. • Track the progress of these families, and monitor and share results in order to contribute to policy development within a new welfare environment. • Provide counseling to insure that all participating families are supported in making an informed choice about their housing. Metropolitan Planning Council

  6. MetroLinks for Jobs and Housing: The Status Report • All 1025 of the vouchers have been leased, and then some. • Data is all preliminary, and the Collaborative continues to lay the infrastructure for needed regional and service coordination • MetroLinks families haven’t made the same percentage of opportunity moves as CHAC’s 2nd movers, but are ahead of the curve in terms of the overall voucher population. • The TANF families involved have made a higher percentage of “opportunity moves” than CHA families Metropolitan Planning Council
