Resident Advisory Board – Covington Housing Authority

The underlying idea of the Resident Advisory Board is to help:

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.

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.
