Resident Advisory Board

The Resident Advisory Board (RAB) provides Perry Metropolitan Housing Authority and its residents with a forum for sharing information about the PMHA 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 Board (RAB) as part of the PHA Plan process. RAB membership is comprised of individuals who reflect and represent the residents assisted by the PHA.
