Bill > A09672

This bill amends the public housing law to provide supplemental tenant rights and protections during the conversion of public housing projects under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program or similar federal programs. The key provisions include: 1) Requiring public housing authorities to provide notice and engage tenants on the proposed conversion, including holding a voting process where more voters must vote in favor than against, and at least 25% of eligible voters must vote in favor. 2) Mandating the creation of a RAD handbook to inform tenants about their rights and the conversion process. 3) Requiring management agents to involve tenant associations, have uniform grievance procedures, and allow certain profit-making activities in the units. 4) Expanding the definition of "family" for eligibility and occupancy purposes.
