BILL NUMBER:S8350 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to tenant representatives on the New York city housing authority PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would increase the membership of NYCHA to include a tenant representative. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would amend subdivisions 3 and 4 of section 402 of the public housing law, as amended by Chapter 916 of the laws of 1958. JUSTIFICATION: This bill would increase the participation of a public housing tenant in the decision making process of public housing complexes. At the present time, tenants of public housing have limited input into the operation of their housing complexes. They are restricted to an "advisory" role and therefore are removed from any substantive input into the problems and programs for their complexes. By providing a public housing tenants representation on the authority they will play a greater role in the operation of their complexes.
