Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.606, the Agency is required to review every complete application submitted under the LTOS Program and either approve or reject it. The review is not limited to a single factor; instead, the Agency may weigh a broad range of considerations, including available funding, geographic diversity, site suitability, unit affordability for extremely low- and severely low-income households, and the developer's plan for services. The proposed allocation term cannot exceed 30 years from the date of project completion, construction, or rehabilitation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Developers and property owners seeking funding under the LTOS Program should understand that § 380.606 gives the Agency wide discretion in evaluating applications. Operators who submit complete applications generally ensure that their submissions address each of the enumerated criteria—such as cost per unit, local government support, the number of units available for special needs households, and a detailed plan for services—since the Agency may consider any or all of these factors. Thorough documentation of site suitability and market conditions, as well as a realistic affordability analysis for extremely low- and severely low-income households, tends to reflect the scope of review the Agency conducts under this provision.

Section 380.606 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 establishes that the Agency's approval process for LTOS Program projects must account for affordability to extremely low-income and severely low-income households, among other factors. Tenants and housing advocates can reference this provision to understand what criteria are supposed to guide funding decisions, including the geographic spread of funded projects and the availability of units for special needs households. Those with concerns about whether a project's application was reviewed consistently with these criteria may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or contact the relevant state housing agency for information about the review process.
