Office of the Tenant Advocate
At the suggestion of Senator Lovely, we submitted a proposal for the creation of the Office of the Tenant Advocate to Representative Sally P. Kerans. We were unable to complete a final bill in legislative language in time for the filing deadline, however, a “placeholder” bill was presented by Representative Sally P. Kerans and Senator Joan B. Lovely, cosponsored by Representative Thomas Walsh. The language has been updated by the House Counsel.
Please contact your Senator and Representative to express your support and ask them to cosponsor.

Seeking ombuds legislation on Beacon Hill
Dear Senator Lovely and Representative Walsh,
In the remaining time before the end of this legislative session, can we please establish the ombuds office, possibly by an amendment to S900/H1407?
For a decade, the Stop Bullying Coalition has been seeking a way to protect elderly and disabled tenants living in subsidized and public housing from bullying and mobbing.
