PHA Decision to Demolish RHS Development Violates Fair Housing Act

This NHLP Housing Law Bulletin article from Apr. 2004 reviews a case involving a challenge to a public housing authority’s decision to vacate and demolish a housing development that is the subject of a Section 515 Rural Housing Service insured mortgage and a project-based Section 8 subsidy contract. The decision is an important partial victory and may be of use to other advocates seeking to use civil rights to preserve federally assisted housing.
