Supreme Court Denies to Hear HUD Challenge to PBCA Contracting Case

The U.S. Supreme Court recently refused to hear a challenge brought by HUD to a federal appeals court decision requiring the agency to use contracts rather than grants to fund its administration of Section 8 public housing projects. Without offering a specific explanation, the Supreme Court justices implicitly rejected HUD’s argument that the Federal Circuit’s decision would impair its Section 8 housing program.
