Grievance Process

NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD & PUBLIC HEARING

Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) seeks comments and suggestions about a change it is considering to its Grievance Process for Applicants and Participants. 

Proposed Changes

THA proposes changes to its Grievance Process for applicants and participants. The Grievance Process includes THA’s policies for its informal reviews and informal hearings. Informal reviews (for applicants only) and informal hearings (for participants only) provide an opportunity to appeal or dispute certain types of decisions made by THA – most used to appeal or dispute a decision to deny or end housing assistance.

We also need to revise our Administrative Plan to reflect the proposed changes. View a draft version of this updated plan here.
