Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced court approval of its settlement with the city of New Orleans regarding a housing discrimination lawsuit.
Under the settlement, the city agreed to permit the conversion of a former nursing home into 40 units of affordable housing. Half the units in the new complex will be designated as permanent supportive housing and will be reserved for formerly homeless persons with disabilities. In addition, the settlement commits the city to developing additional supportive housing for 350 persons with disabilities over the next three years.
