An Act amending the act of May 28, 1937 (P.L.955, No.265), referred to as the Housing Authorities Law, providing for training requirement for members of authority.
SB 87 requires members of Pennsylvania's housing authorities to complete an 8-hour mandatory training program within 180 days of taking office or reappointment. The training, developed by the Department of Community and Economic Development and covering topics like fair housing, budgeting, ethics, and building codes, must be provided at no cost to authorities. This applies to all current and new housing authority members, including those appointed after the law takes effect. The program aims to improve governance and accountability for local housing authorities managing public housing projects. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
