LHA Code of Ethics.pdf

This file is a Code of Ethics document for the Lowell Housing Authority (LHA) in Massachusetts, signed by all LHA employees as of December 2013. The document establishes ethical standards and conduct guidelines that govern the professional behavior and responsibilities of LHA staff members. All employees are required to acknowledge and comply with the code, as evidenced by their signatures on the document dated December 2013.

The Code of Ethics serves as a foundational governance tool for the LHA and is relevant to the organization's procurement activities, including the Housing Quality Standards Consultant RFP (2026-5) seeking an inspection company to conduct HQS and Massachusetts Sanitary Code inspections for 1,000 to 1,250 subsidized units annually in Lowell and surrounding communities. The ethical standards outlined in this document would apply to all LHA personnel involved in the selection and management of contractors responding to the agency's solicitations.
