Public housing tenant accuses U.S. government of wrongful eviction

Contract 03

NEW ORLEANS — A Orleans Parish public housing tenant is suing the U.S. government, alleging breach of a memorandum agreement.

Ore Price filed a complaint Dec. 30 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Housing Authority of New Orleans, et al, alleging they violated her constitutional rights.

According to the complaint, as a result of the defendants' actions, Price was evicted from her New Orleans residence and was caused to suffer harm to herself and her family. The plaintiff alleges the defendants illegally converted her public housing residence status to a private residence without her knowledge, and denied Price of her property rights and interest in her public housing unit.

Price seeks trial by jury, judgment in her favor and all general and equitable relief. She is representing herself.
