Court Upholds Termination Of Project-Based Assistance

摘要

The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania upheld HUD's termination of the project-based Section 8 contract on an FHA-financed cooperative, rejecting residents' claims that the department violated requirements for the management and disposition of the property, including continuation of the project-based assistance. After the property failed multiple inspections, HUD abated the Section 8 assistance for all units on November 10, 2004. On March 10, 2006, HUD terminated the housing assistance payments (HAP) contract. The department acquired the project at a foreclosure auction on October 26, 2006, and immediately transferred it to the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URAP).
