Section 159 of the Public Housing Law prohibits disclosure of certain information acquired by an authority or municipality or by an officer or employee thereof. An open meeting at which such information is to be discussed should be recessed and a closed, executive session held while such matters are being discussed. Tenants and applicants rightfully expect personal information to be held in strict confidence, and authorities must zealously respect such confidence as contemplated by section 159 of the Public Housing Law.
