CHICAGO (CBS) -- If you struggle to pay your mortgage, you have two months to apply for a state grant.
Illinois will stop taking applications on October 31st for the Homeowner Assistance Fund Program.
It was set up to help people suffering financial hardships because of the pandemic.

That money covered mortgages, property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees.
