La Union del Pueblo Entero, et al. v. FEMA

N/A

OUTCOME: pending

FEMA has denied thousands of families housing repair assistance because of "deferred maintenance." It claims it does not have to help poor families because the condition of the housing before the disa ... ster was substandard. The suit requests FEMA be ordered to comply with federal law requiring them to enact regulations to ensure it does not discriminate on the basis of economic status, and to review the denials for compliance with these new standards.
