Monitoring Committee
.
The Monitoring Committee is appointed by the Mayor of Boston to periodically review matters relating to the management and performance of Boston Housing Authority (BHA), and to report these matters to the Mayor. The Committee reviews and approves the annual federal and state operating budget, the annual modernization applications, and all property dispositions which would reduce the total number of housing units owned by BHA.
The Monitoring Committee is composed of nine members. At least five must be BHA public housing tenants, and one must be a BHA Section 8/Housing Choice Voucher holder. The remaining members are community representatives. Members serve a two-year term and meet at least four times a year.
Mayor Michelle Wu appointed the following members to the Boston Housing Authority Monitoring Committee: Meena Carr, Matilda Drayton, Julietta Lopez, Eugenia Smith, Margarita Lebron, Dacia Morales, Ana Calderon, and Cokiena Fuller. One seat on the monitoring committee is currently vacant. The Committee meets quarterly, and meetings are publicly posted on the BHA and City of Boston’s websites.
The Monitoring Committee was established through state legislation in 1989.
