- HPD interprets illegal eviction as already included in the existing definition of harassment
- The department has no concerns about explicitly adding it to the definition
- HPD expresses concerns about adding illegal eviction as a new criterion for the CONH pilot program at this time
- The department suggests considering the incorporation of new criteria when the CONH program is potentially reauthorized in 2026
