Show Us The Books - The K Street Demonstration

The National Alliance of HUD Tenants (NAHT) was in Washington, D.C. for their annual conference when they led a demonstration against a lobbyist firm, the National Leased Housing Association (NLHA), which represents landlords and managers of HUD subsidized properties. NLHA is currently fighting a bill, H.R. 4868, which among other allowances would give tenants of HUD subsidized properties the right to view documentation regarding their building. Even though NAHT has repeatedly said that they only want to see how taxpayer money is being used in the buildings, the landlords are fighting the release of the information, claiming that it violates their privacy. Tenants are not allowed to know who their landlord is, even when the landlord has the tenants' social security numbers, work history, and other personal information.
