Resident Council & Leadership
The Resident Council is a HUD and RHA recognized group of elected resident officers from RHA public housing properties who have open communication with the Housing Authority and residents regarding issues that affect their community. HUD encourages housing authorities and residents to work together to determine appropriate ways to foster constructive relationships, particularly through resident councils.
