Note: There is no legislation on this meeting agenda. Instead, the committee is holding a public hearing to question officials from the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA). The focus is on a recent report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General stating that CMHA did not adequately oversee lead-based paint in its federally subsidized housing

We’re not sure which CMHA officials will attend, but you can check webpages for the CEO, leadership team, and senior management team to reference names and titles of potential attendees. The CMHA Board of Commissioners page is here.
