Description

Nita City Housing Authority v. Johnson 3rd Edition Mark S. Caldwell ISBN 9798886690538

Nita City Housing Authority v. Johnson centers on Donna Johnson, who received an eviction notice months after her grandson was swept up in a group arrest of individuals suspected of gang-related drug activity. Although her grandson Roy was never charged, Donna believes the housing authority’s eviction is in retaliation for her activism. She had organized a tenant action committee demanding the installation of fire sprinklers and led protests when the housing authority ignored these requests. Disabled and without the resources to relocate herself, her two grandchildren, and her great-grandchild, Donna is determined to fight for her home.

This compact case file includes compelling witnesses and vibrant exhibits.
