Director Miller also asked if the tenants who decide to remain as tenants will be eligible<br />
to remain under rent stabilization.<br />
Ms. Roy explained that the existing tenants will have the option to stay as rental tenants<br />
or have the option to purchase their property at an affordability level that is set by HCR,<br />
therefore, they will be maintained as affordable units in either home ownership or rental.<br />
Ms. Roy added that the standard rent stabilization will not apply because they will be<br />
considered affordable units that will be administered by HCR.<br />
Further discussion was had regarding the effects of the privatization on the Island House<br />
