Cooley v. Housing Auth. of the City of Slidell

SHA appealed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of plaintiff. The district court concluded that SHA acted arbitrarily and capriciously in terminating plaintiff's rental assistance benefits under the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) for failure to attend an annual recertification meeting. The court held that plaintiff followed SHA's requirements - including contacting SHA within three days of her receipt of SHA's notice and attempting to reschedule due to her mother's recent death - and that SHA's contrary decision was arbitrary and capricious. Because this conclusion disposed of the case, the court did not address the parties' remaining contentions. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court. View "Cooley v.
