Public Housing Management

The purpose of the Commission is to develop recommendations for the sustainability and reform of public housing authorities and the portfolio of state aided public housing that will ensure the long-term viability of public housing as an affordable resource, including reform of the statutory governance structure with a goal of creating practical, cost-effective and modern regional governance structure.

Executive Order 539 afforded the Commission for Public Housing Sustainability and Reform a 60 day period from its first meeting to conclude its work and issue a report of its recommendations to the Governor.  The Commission concluded its work and issued its report in June 2012.  In its report, the Commission recommended that DHCD establish a Public Housing Advisory Committee (“the Advisory Committee.”)
