Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
Denial of federal preference for Section 8 Rental Assistance Program
Based on my current situation as an individual on a permanent psychiatric disability, I was denied a federal preference for the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. I believe I do qualify as I meet the guidelines for being given preference. I have written the agency responsible for the assistance program and request a review of my status. They still feel I do not qualify.
I would like to file a civil action suit against the agency to require them to give me federal preference based on my qualifications according to their guidelines.
My question is (three-fold): How do I begin to file such a civil suit without hiring an attorney (which I can not afford); and how do I get the necessary forms to file the suit; and is this the best legal recourse to take?
Thank you for your time and effort.
