SB 921 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of May 28, 1937 (P.L.955, No.265), referred to as the Housing Authorities Law, further providing for establishment of rentals and selection of tenants and for veteran preferences.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Housing Authorities Law to clarify how public housing units are rented and how tenants are selected. It requires housing authorities to rent only to low-income individuals at affordable rates, ensuring that total household income does not exceed six times the annual rent including utilities. The legislation also restricts rentals to U.S. citizens or those with valid immigration status and mandates that authorities file their rental schedules with the State Planning Board. Additionally, the bill establishes a preference for eligible veterans in all housing programs offered by these authorities.
