Summary

This bill would require the Human Resources Administration (“HRA”) to make available, as a part of the application for emergency assistance grants for rental assistance, processes by which applicants may authorize HRA to send a text or email notification to the applicant and/or to the building owner or a managing agent designated by the building owner upon the approval of such application. The notification to applicants would inform them that a determination on their application has been reached and how to access the determination using ACCESS HRA. The notification to building owners or managing agents would not contain identifiable information about the applicant but would inform them how to access certain details about the determination via a secure web portal.
