24 CFR 982. 456

The tenant may exercise any right or remedy against the owner under the lease between the tenant and the owner, including enforcement of the owner's obligations under the tenancy addendum (which is included both in the HAP contract between the PHA and the owner, and in the lease between the tenant and the owner).

I was threaten that if fight against the landlord ( on his fabrication) and don't move, I will loose my voucher. Regardless if the owner violated program rules or I complained about the living conditions, I couldn't fight against retaliatory eviction.

Housing Opportunity Commission Montgomery County, Maryland "Public trust and confidence does matter"

PUBIC TRUST MATTERS IN 2014?


24 CFR 964.135

Resident involvement in HA management operations. Residents shall be involved and participate in the overall policy development and direction of Public Housing operations. (a) Resident management corporations (RMCs) may contract with HAs to perform one or more management functions provided the resident entity has received sufficient training and/or has staff with the necessary expertise to perform the management functions and provided the RMC meets bonding and licensing requirements. (b) Residents shall be actively involved in a HA’s decision-making process and give advice on matters such as modernization, security, maintenance, etc.



My reason for implementing that 24 CFR 964.135 HUD regulation above because HOC forgot what HUD's original purpose and why HUD was created. As a person from the public, college student and a resident under HOC, I have the right to ask questions of accountability. Even though, I was harass and threaten for exercising my rights, I still believe in the Constitution- to redress the government and the 1st Amendment. As we witness bullying tactics and allege corruption from government officials in the news this disease is spread throughout the United States. First question, " How HOC Commissioners on the board serve terms in office more than the President of the United States? What is the purpose? That's why is the culture is set in HOC environment  and will remain until there is some unified changes. Is it control and dictatorship to run an agency for a personal benefit? Why do a Commissioners or the public official who appoints a Commissioner want to stay on the board for a lifetime? What is the hidden agenda, purpose or plan? Political payback? What I found interesting that a fellow Commissioner once ask me am I going to hold the CEO accountable? Why not? Is he above the law?  I attended an HOC meeting in 2/1/2012  and a Commissioner raise some concerns that they didn't want to me speak to the CEO on camera. Is that why the CEO called my house in a threatening tone to bully me, twice?

Public trust and confidence is at a low-time low- time nationally in the local, State and Federal government, this cancer is rising throughout the nation. Integrity can't be brought and it's not found in an education (politician) nor a suit and tie. Can integrity be brought back while the bullying tactics cease against certain class of citizens who ask questions accountability?
