Owens v. Charleston Housing Authority, 336 F. Supp. 2d 934 (E.D. Mo. 2004)

The district court for the Eastern District of Missouri held that the housing authority owner of a Section 515 development could not prepay its loan even when it owed less that $200 and that its efforts to vacate and demolish the development violated the Fair Housing Act. The decision was affirmed in Charleston Housing Authority v. U.S. Department of Agriculture, 419 F.3d 729 (8th Cir, 2005).
