Hann v. Housing Authority Of The City Of Easto

709 F.Supp. 605 (1989)

Facts

Hann (P) and James (P) were unmarried and the natural parents of three children. Ps applied for section 8 housing and applied for assistance but were denied because they were unmarried. D interpreted the term family as two or more persons who live together in the dwelling are related by blood, marriage, or adoption. D based this interpretation on the fact that cohabitation of unmarried adults of the opposite sex was immoral. Ps appealed that decision.
