Public Housing Agency Organization; Required Resident Membership on Board of Directors or Similar Governing Body

Resumo

On June 23, 1999, HUD published a proposed rule to implement section 2(b) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, which was added by section 505 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998. Section 2(b) requires, with certain exceptions, that the membership of the board of directors or similar governing body of a public housing agency (PHA) must contain not less than one member who is directly assisted by the PHA. This final rule makes effective the policies and procedures described in the June 23, 1999 proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.
