About Park Forest Housing Authority

**** Please note that the waiting list is currently closed.

Park Forest began life in 1948 as a plan to provide housing for GIs returning from World War II . It was the first post-war planned community and its innovative design has been recognized and used as a model for towns throughout the world. The Village of Park Forest has received numerous livability citations including two All-America City Awards, two Governors Home Town Awards and, most recently, its downtown redevelopment received the Burnham Award for excellence in planning.

The community’s original master plan ensured convenient commercial centers, a child-safe curvilinear street system, a business and light industrial park and multiple, scattered school and recreational facilities.

Park Forest's first homes were multi-family rental units for the returning servicemen. Many of the early rentals were later converted to housing cooperatives but a large number remained rentals. Park Forest was recognized by The Chicago Sun-Times as a leader in affordable housing and by Chicago Magazine as a "great neighborhood."
