Cal. Civ. Code § 380.302
Outreach Requirements
Operative Text
The LAA or the Developer must document that it has made extensive efforts to publicize the availability of Units under the RHS Program, including contacting non-profit corporations serving the homeless, the disabled and senior citizens in the Service Area or the area in which the Project is located; public housing authorities with jurisdiction in the Service Area or the area in which the Project is located; and otherwise publicizing the availability of these Units at appropriate locations within and surrounding the Service Area or the area in which the Project is located, such as by advertising in local newspapers, or through meetings with community groups.� The Applicant must submit this evidence to the Agency with its Application and with the report required under Section 380.410.
Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.302, entities administering or developing housing under the RHS Program are required to make and document extensive outreach efforts to publicize the availability of program units. This outreach must reach organizations serving homeless, disabled, and senior populations, local public housing authorities, and the broader community through channels such as newspaper advertising or community group meetings. Documentation of these efforts must be submitted both with the initial application and with the periodic report required under Section 380.410.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Local Administering Agencies (LAAs) and Developers operating under the RHS Program generally maintain thorough records of every outreach step taken to publicize unit availability, as required by 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.302. Compliant operators typically keep written logs of contacts made with nonprofits serving homeless, disabled, and senior residents, public housing authorities, and community groups, as well as copies of any advertisements placed. These records are then compiled and submitted to the Agency alongside the initial Application and the Section 380.410 report.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 380.302 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 establishes that housing providers in the RHS Program must actively publicize unit availability to communities that include people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, and senior citizens. If you believe a developer or LAA failed to conduct or document this required outreach, that concern can be raised with the Illinois Housing Development Authority, which receives the outreach documentation as part of the application and reporting process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Illinois affordable housing programs can help explain what the outreach record should contain and what options may be available if the requirement appears to have gone unmet.
