Bill > HB06946

This bill modifies the existing law to require housing authorities to provide more detailed annual reporting and improve public accessibility of these reports. Specifically, housing authorities must now submit their annual report to the Commissioner of Housing and the local municipal executive by March 1st each year, and also post the report on their own website. The bill expands the required report content to include several new detailed elements, such as rental price levels broken down by income group (expressed as a percentage of area median income), the number of rental units at each price level, the annual change in rental price levels, and the dates when rental units first qualified as affordable housing. The existing reporting requirements are maintained, including an inventory of housing units, descriptions of new construction projects, details on housing sales or transfers, and audit results. The new reporting requirements are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aim to provide greater transparency about housing authority operations and affordable housing availability. The changes were made to provide clearer and more consistent language around housing unit and affordability descriptions.
