Enhanced Health and Safety in Public Housing

New rules aim to improve health and safety conditions in government-assisted housing. This means more frequent inspections, quicker repairs of defects, and greater resident input on property evaluations. Property owners will need to respond faster to reports and disclose issues, potentially losing subsidies if they fail to provide adequate living conditions.
Key points
Property owners must promptly fix health and safety issues like mold or structural damage.
Residents will have more say in property evaluations through surveys, with their feedback influencing building ratings.
In severe health or safety cases, rental subsidies to owners may be suspended, but residents will not pay more.
Owners must annually provide residents with contact information for relevant agencies and oversight bodies to facilitate problem reporting.
