G. L. c. 66, § 1 OA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Ms. Ferreira requested various records concerning the "Section-8 Homeownership Program" as well as statistical data from the Authority. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Ferreira petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Authority responded to Ms. Ferreira's request with a response sent on October 3, 2017. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Authority's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Ferreira may appeal the substantive nature of the Authority's response withjn ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M,R. 32.08(1 ). Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S.
