Resident Advisory Board (RAB)

The Resident Advisory Board (RAB) provides the Columbia Housing Authority and its residents a forum for sharing information about the CHA Annual Plan. Section 511 of the United States Housing Act and the regulations in 24 CFR part 903 require that Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) establish one or more Resident Advisory Boards (RAB) as part of the PHA Plan process. RAB membership is comprised of individuals who reflect and represent the residents assisted by the PHA.

The role of the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) is to make recommendations and assist the Columbia Housing Authority (CHA) in the development of the CHA Annual Plan and any significant amendments or modifications to the plan that may be proposed during the year.

The Columbia Housing Authority’s (CHA’s) Resident Advisory Board (RAB) gives the CHA’s affordable housing residents and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program participants an opportunity to participate in guiding CHA’s programs and policies. RAB members:

• Read and comment on changes to CHA policies
• Review and comment on annual budgets, annual plans, five-year plans, etc.
• Make other recommendations to the CHA Board of Commissioners as necessary
