Court Refuses to Dismiss Government Suit Against Town

摘要

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division, allowed the federal government's claim under the Fair Housing Act against a town that denied a zoning request to allow a resident to share his home with a nonrelative who suffered from multiple sclerosis. The United States brought an action against the town of St. John, alleging that the town failed to grant a zoning variance that would have allowed a resident, Kenneth Ubriaco, to share his home with a nonrelative suffering from multiple sclerosis. The town moved to dismiss, claiming the statute of limitations had run.
