Lundregan v. Housing Opportunities Commission et al Doc. 230 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND KAREN LUNDREGAN, Plaintiff Civil No. PJM 19-1369 V. HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES COMMISSION,etal. Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION In May 2019, Karen Lundregan, at the time pro se, sued the Housing Opportunity Commission of Montgomery County ("HOC") and six of its members, alleging violations of several laws purportedly protective of her status as a recipient or prospective recipient of an HOC voucher subsidizing her housing costs. In a Memorandum Opinion dated May 7, 2020, the Court denied in part and granted in part Defendants' Motion to Dismiss,leaving only two Defendants in the case — HOC and Ethan Cohen, the HOC employee responsible for processing requests for reasonable accommodation for HOC voucher-seekers during the relevant time period. Additionally, only two issues were allowed to go forward: (1) Whether the HOC in its official capacity and Cohen in his individual capacity violated the Fair Housing Act("FHA"), 42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq., by denying Plaintiff a reasonable accommodation for her mental and emotional disabilities by, inter alia, failing to reinstate her housing voucher for several months(from the termination of her voucher in April 2018, until its reinstatement in September 2018); and (2) Whether the HOC in its official capacity and Cohen in his individual capacity violated 42 U.S.C. § 1983, specifically Plaintiffs due process rights, by not affording her a final hearing before terminating her housing voucher.
