  • Description: New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) deprives hundreds of residents of their housing every year without affording them due process. Based on the allegedly undesirable behavior of one household member, NYCHA can begin a termination of tenancy action against an entire family. Using the threat of termination as leverage, NYCHA coerces the tenant of record into permanently excluding the "undesirable" occupant, barring them from living with, or visiting, their family. The excluded family member is given no notice of the termination action and no opportunity to contest their permanent exclusion. This note contends that authorized occupants in NYCHA housing have due process rights which mandate notice and the opportunity to be heard before they lose their home. NYCHA does not currently recognize such rights. But, as this Note will show, authorized occupants have a property interest in public housing. NYCHA's practice of permanent exclusion deprives them of that interest. This note suggests alternatives for NYCHA to consider instead of relying on permanent exclusion as a means of crime reduction. Ultimately, the goal of this note is to push NYCHA to live up to its mission: to provide decent and affordable housing to low-income New Yorkers.
