Block Capacity Dashboard
The Block Capacity Dashboard provides a breakout of project capacity for each Illinois Shines project category. It reflects final capacity allocated for each Program Year, and details capacity allocations and statuses in several subcategories defined below (Allocated, Batched, Submitted, Available, and Waitlisted Capacity Due to Developer Cap).
This page provides:
- Up-to-date data on the Program’s Block Capacity Dashboard for the current Program Year
- Project Waitlists
- Final Block Sizes for the current Program year, as outlined in the Program Guidebook.

[2] Batched Capacity: Refers to the amount of capacity made up by submitted applications that have been batched and the batch fee has been paid or is pending payment.
[3] Submitted Capacity: Refers to the amount of capacity made up by submitted applications which have not yet been batched by the Approved Vendor.
