Section 146-70 ensures that two seats on Stamford's Affordable Housing Trust Board are reserved for residents who themselves live in qualifying affordable housing, giving community members a direct voice in Trust governance. Tenants living in affordable housing who meet the residency requirements defined in § 146-66 may be eligible for appointment to the Board by the Mayor, subject to confirmation by the Board of Representatives. Tenants interested in participating in or influencing Trust decisions can contact the Board of Representatives or a local tenant-rights organization to learn more about the appointment process and how the Board's work may affect affordable housing in Stamford.
