BILL NUMBER:S7554 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to requiring the New York city housing authority to provide elderly tenants adequate notice of termination of tenancy proceedings PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To give elderly NYCHA residents adequate notice of and ability to respond to termination of tenancy proceedings.

JUSTIFICATION: While NYCHA has termination of tenancy policies, many seniors, who have lived in NYCHA housing for decades, have faced
