Maine Housing Authorities Act

Maine · Municipalities · §§ 4701 to 4994-A · 109 sections

Overview

This act governs publicly sponsored housing, authorizing the creation of municipal housing authorities and a statewide housing authority to address the housing needs recited in its declaration of necessity. It sets out how those bodies are constituted and governed — appointment, qualification, tenure and removal of commissioners, conflict-of-interest limits, and confidentiality of certain records — and gives them powers to acquire, construct, own and rent housing on a not-for-profit basis, including eminent domain, the issuance of bonds, institutional lending, tenant admission standards with a preference for veterans, and cooperation with municipalities, other authorities and federal aid programs. It also establishes dedicated funds and assistance programs covering temporary and emergency housing, housing stability, housing production, and the preservation of manufactured housing communities and mobile home parks, while requiring compliance with planning, zoning and building law and with housing design and sustainability standards.
