An Act relative to housing service coordinators

This bill creates a new program to fund housing service coordinators who help residents in state and federally assisted housing avoid eviction and improve their economic stability. Under the law, property owners must ensure tenants have met with a coordinator at least 30 days before filing for eviction, unless there is an immediate threat to health or safety. The Department of Housing and Community Development will oversee the training and certification of these coordinators while tracking outcomes like the number of evictions prevented. Owners participating in the program must also certify that they provided this opportunity before taking legal action against subsidized tenants.
