Cal. Civ. Code § 380.607
Waiver
Operative Text
An Agency may waive any LTOS Program requirements only when special circumstances exist and in furtherance of the purpose of the LTOS Program to increase the supply of affordable rental housing, as permitted by the RHS Program Act.
Section 380.607 of the Illinois Administrative Code establishes that a housing agency has limited authority to set aside standard LTOS Program requirements, but only when two conditions are both met: special circumstances must exist, and the waiver must advance the LTOS Program's core goal of expanding affordable rental housing supply, consistent with the RHS Program Act. This is not a blanket exemption mechanism; it is a narrow, purpose-bound exception. The provision preserves the integrity of the program while allowing flexibility in genuinely unusual situations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 380.607, operators participating in the LTOS Program who believe their project involves special circumstances that warrant relief from a standard program requirement should document how those circumstances are both exceptional and consistent with expanding affordable rental housing. A compliant operator generally prepares a clear written justification tying the waiver request to the program's statutory purpose under the RHS Program Act. Agencies retain discretion to grant or deny such requests, so thorough documentation of the special circumstances is a standard part of the process.

Section 380.607 governs when an Agency may relax LTOS Program requirements, which can affect the availability and terms of affordable rental units in a given development. Tenants in LTOS-assisted housing have an interest in understanding whether any waivers were granted for their building and whether those waivers were consistent with the program's affordable housing purpose. Tenant-rights organizations or the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity can be resources for learning more about how § 380.607 waivers may affect housing in a specific development.
