What Is The Class Action Lawsuit About? Sample Clauses

What Is The Class Action Lawsuit About?. This lawsuit challenged the adequacy of HACLA’s notice explaining a reduction in its subsidy to Section 8 participants. The lawsuit claimed that the notice, which Section 8 participants were entitled to receive one year before the reduced subsidy took effect as to them, was so deficient in explaining the effect of the reduction that it violated the constitutional right to due process of law and certain California state laws. As a result, according to the lawsuit, the reduction in HACLA’s subsidy was unlawful, and the affected tenants are entitled to damages in the amount of the additional rent they paid their landlords that they would not have paid if the subsidy had not been reduced. (The lawsuit also claimed that some participants could be entitled to other types of damages if they could show them, and that all Section 8 participants, present and future, were entitled to an order that HACLA’s future notices adequately explain the likely or potential effect of any subsidy reduction.)
