Making Housing More Affordable

The Resident Advisory Board (RAB) provides the Public Housing Authority (PHA) and the residents with a forum for sharing information about the Agency’s Annual Plan. Section 511 of the United States Housing Act and the regulations in 24 CFR, Part 903 require that PHAs establish one or more Resident Advisory Board(s) (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 RAB is to assist the PHA in developing the PHA Plan and in making any significant amendment or modification to the Plan.


The main role of the RAB is to make recommendations in the development of the PHA Plan. In order to facilitate collaboration, PHAs should encourage the RAB’s participation from the inception of the planning process. PHAs are also required to request input from the RAB for any significant amendment or modification to the PHA Plan.

The Marin Housing Authority (MHA) is currently accepting applications from Public Housing residents to fill vacant seats. These vacancies were a result of terms expiring and/or voluntary resignations from the RAB. Please contact Kathleen Wyatt at KWyatt@marinhousing.org for more information and/or for an application.
