The Bloomington, Indiana HA has had a chronic problem not giving folks a right to a pre-termination hearing in their §8 program. Our state CLU filed a class action suit last week with a prelim inj hearing set 2/9. HA will settle, & we're giving input into the terms. We want them to notify generally & to specific people who were terminated of their right to a hearing. If they prevail, they should immediately get a voucher. They should also be monitored for at least 6 months (we don't trust them). Question: what is the availability of §8 vouchers or HA's ability to get additional ones to correct this problem? They say they only have so many & are not able to withhold them from folks currently on the list. I say these people would not be getting a preference on any list, as they were already participants who were wrongfully terminated. Any other suggestions for remedies? I'd appreciate any feedback ASAP as the settlement documents are being written now. Thanks.
