## Resource

Concord Housing Authority is under fire for secretly installing privacy-invading sensors in residents’ homes—devices that track noise, motion, and even Apple signals—since 2024, sparking a lawsuit from ACLU and New Hampshire Legal Assistance. Residents have no opt-out, and the terms are tied to housing eligibility, raising alarms about income-based privacy violations. While Minut’s CEO insists the tech was only meant for smoke and loud noise detection—and claims motion tracking was disabled by May 2026—the ACLU argues this surveillance disproportionately targets low-income tenants. The housing authority remains silent as this unfolding scandal questions the future of privacy in public housing.
