Cal. Civ. Code § 380.102
Purpose and Objectives
Operative Text
The purpose of the RHS Program is to help localities address the need for decent, affordable, permanent rental housing.� Under the RHS Program, the Agency shall make grants to Local Administering Agencies to provide subsidies to Landlords that will make housing units affordable to Extremely Low- and Severely Low-Income Households and to Developers to provide long-term operating support for Projects that will make housing units affordable to Extremely Low- and Severely Low-Income Households.
Section 380.102 establishes the overarching purpose of Illinois's Rental Housing Support (RHS) Program: to expand the supply of decent, stable, affordable rental housing at the local level. Under this framework, the state Agency distributes grants to Local Administering Agencies, which in turn channel subsidies to landlords and developers. Those subsidies are specifically aimed at making rental units accessible to Extremely Low- and Severely Low-Income Households, and at providing long-term operating support for qualifying housing projects.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 380.102 identifies landlords as eligible recipients of RHS Program subsidies, delivered through Local Administering Agencies rather than directly from the state. Operators who participate in the program generally accept subsidy funds in exchange for making their units affordable to Extremely Low- and Severely Low-Income Households as defined by the program. Understanding this foundational purpose helps property owners anticipate the affordability and compliance expectations that flow from participation in the RHS Program.

Section 380.102 signals that the RHS Program is designed to benefit Extremely Low- and Severely Low-Income Households by making otherwise unaffordable rental units accessible through landlord and developer subsidies. Tenants who believe they may qualify for housing supported by this program can reach out to their local Local Administering Agency to learn about available units or eligibility criteria. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois affordable housing programs can also help households understand how the RHS Program's stated purpose translates into practical housing opportunities.
