In accordance with Section 489.3(d) of the Department's regulations, the
Department may waive Family Type Home for Adults (FTHA) regulatory
requirements which are not mandated by law. Waivers are intended to give
FTHA operators an opportunity to propose and receive approval to initiate an alternative way of complying with a standard not required by law. Without such approval from the local district or the Department, an operator is not considered to be in compliance with the applicable standard. Waivers may be requested as part of the certification process, while holding a valid
operating certificate or as a plan of corrective action in response to a
violation following the issuance of an inspection report.
