Section 52-3 of Poughkeepsie Town's Code establishes that a Town-designated Administrative Agent handles eligibility assessments and unit management for the below-market-rate program, meaning prospective tenants interact with this Agent as part of the application process. Understanding the Agent's role can help applicants know where to direct questions about program eligibility or unit availability. Tenants or applicants who believe the process was not followed correctly may consider reaching out to the Town directly or consulting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
