In the letter, the Committee raises concerns about conditions public housing residents are facing and seek information on property management, financial oversight, and long-term plans to address deficiencies. The Committee emphasizes that PHAs have a responsibility to ensure residents have access to safe, clean, and affordable housing and stresses the importance of strong management, fiscal responsibility, and accountability to protect tenants and taxpayers.
