Purpose
The underlying idea of the Resident Advisory Board is to help:
- Respond to resident concerns.
- Improve quality of life.
- Represent resident interests.
- Involve residents in creating a positive living environment.
General Background
- Resident Advisory Board’s originate from provisions in the 1986 Housing Act to promote public housing resident participation.
- A federal rule provides public housing residents with the right to organize and elect a resident council to represent their interests.
- HUD regulation, 24 CFR Part 964, defines the obligation of HUD and PHAs to support resident participation activities through training and other activities.
Elections
- Individual site-based Resident Advisory Boards are elected by residents at each development for a two-year term.
- Each Resident Advisory Board is made up of four officers – positions normally include a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
- Among the eligibility requirements to run for a position, candidates must be in good standing, at least 18 years-old, and listed on the lease for the unit they reside in.
