Bill overview
The Tenants’ Right to Organize Act aims to strengthen tenants’ ability to form and participate in resident organizations. It guarantees the right for housing voucher recipients to organize, requires public housing agencies and landlords to recognize and support these groups, and prohibits retaliatory actions against tenants for their involvement. The bill also expands protections for tenants in LIHTC properties, providing similar rights and addressing potential violations of affordability agreements. Finally, it allocates funding for tenant services and capacity building, and establishes a protocol for surveying residents to improve housing inspections and resident satisfaction.
