Relates to the standard of proof for determination of eligibility for public housing based upon remaining family member status

This bill changes the proof required for individuals to remain in New York City public housing after a family member moves out. It lowers the standard of proof to match the requirements used for other city housing programs under rent control laws, making it easier to demonstrate residency. The bill does not affect income eligibility rules for public housing. It applies to all new applications submitted to the New York City Housing Authority on or after January 1, 2025.
