Description

Class Action Challenges Admission Procedures for Section 8 New Construction

Abstract

In this class action filed in Indiana, plaintiffs allege that the admission procedures for an Indiana Section 8 new construction housing project violate their due process rights. In their complaint, brought under the United States Housing Act of 1937,42 U.S.C. §§ 1437 et seq., plaintiffs complain that defendants have failed to (1) maintain and apply uniform ascertainable standards for the selection of tenants for Section 8 new construction housing, (2) provide adequate and specific written reasons for the denial of admission to Section 8 new construction housing, and (3) provide an opportunity for an informal hearing concerning the denial of admission. Plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief.
