Housing Agencies Must Disclose Contracts: New Transparency Rules for Public Spending.
This Act mandates public housing agencies (PHAs) to publicly disclose comprehensive information about all contracts they enter into. Citizens will gain online access to details regarding vendors, services provided, solicited bids, and the officials responsible for the solicitation process. This aims to increase public oversight of how funds allocated for public housing are spent, potentially ensuring better value for taxpayer money.
Key points
Public housing agencies must post details of all contracts online, including the vendor and the goods or services provided.
The disclosure must include all solicited bids and quotes, allowing the public to verify the fairness of the selection process.
This measure enhances accountability and transparency in the management of public housing resources.
