Searching for felon friendly apartments in Evanston? Explore apartment communities, houses, and other housing options. “Felon friendly” is a search term, not a verified designation. Confirm each property's screening rules; approval is never guaranteed.
Screening practices and applicable requirements can vary by property and location. Ask each housing provider about its current criteria and verify reported policy details directly. For questions about your rights, consider consulting a qualified local housing or legal resource. Approval is never guaranteed.
CHA’s public property directory includes HOW Evanston in Evanston, Illinois, outside Chicago city limits. This is a source-backed housing record, not a vacancy or admission promise.
The Chicago Housing Authority directory https://www.thecha.org/properties (reviewed September 28, 2026) lists HOW Evanston at 2215 Dempster Street under its Project Based Voucher (PBV) Housing Program. The official page describes 12 supportive households with disability and/or homelessness documentation requirements; property conditions are set by the building. The source describes inventory and intended audience, not current apartment availability or an open waitlist.
CHA detail pages say screening may include a criminal-background check and other checks. The directory does not establish that applicants with any particular conviction are accepted or denied. Confirm current written program and landlord rules; approval is never guaranteed.
Check the current program and property-specific application steps at https://applyonline.thecha.org/home and with the property manager. A CHA directory entry or a published bedroom count does not prove an available apartment or that an applicant meets all program and building requirements.
