The Staten Island Advance reports on Justin Williams, a blind tenant whose Section 8 rental subsidy was terminated without proper notice. SILS filed a federal law suit on behalf of Mr. Williams in federal court alleging that by mailing him only written termination notices, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) failed to make reasonable accommodations for Mr. Williams’ disability, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. SILS Project Director Nancy Goldhill is quoted in the article.
