42 U.S.C. § 1437d(k)(l), indicates that Congress intended to mandate a grievance procedure only when a PHA actively “proposes” to take some “affirmative” future “action” — e.g., to raise rent or terminate a tenancy — not when a PHA fails to act. Because a PHA does not “propose” to violate its lease obligations, they reason, section 1437d(k) cannot be read to require an administrative grievance forum when tenants complain of improper maintenance or disrepair. We reject this act/omission distinction as applied to the grievance procedure requirement.
