Federal Court Rules That Enhanced Voucher Tenant Has Right to Remain

This NHLP Housing Law Bulletin article is from Nov.-Dec. 2004. In a case of first impression, a federal district court in New York ruled that federal law requires owners leaving the project-based subsidy programs to accept the replacement subsidies provided by Congress. This ruling provides clear and direct support to the position that Congress itself has required owners to accept these subsidies, joining the position long espoused by tenant advocates and even by HUD since 2000.
