An Act ensuring continued rights for public housing residents

This bill protects the rights of current residents living in public housing projects that are being transferred or redeveloped. It mandates that these tenants keep their existing benefits, such as lease terms, eviction protections, and privacy rights, even if the project changes ownership. The law also prohibits using redevelopment as a reason to evict existing tenants, re-screen them, or reduce their assistance, while requiring that the new project maintain the same number of low-rent units. To ensure transparency, the bill requires housing authorities to provide notice and an opportunity for comment to affected tenants and the public before moving forward with changes.
