12,000 May
Bo Eligible
For Fed Aid ,
RALEIGH More
than 12,000 North
Carolina families who liv
ed in certain federally sub
sidized housing projects
across the state may be
eligible for refunds of up
to $500 for illegal rent in
creases they paid four
years ago, according to
legal Services of North
Carolina Executive Direc
tor Denny Ray.'
"The refunds are part
of a $60 million settlement
between the U.S. Depart
ment of (lousing and Ur
ban Development (HUD)
and Legal Services lawyers
who filed class action
lawsuits in 1975," said
Ray. "Those lawsuits
were filed on behalf of an
estimated 500,000 tenants
in 5,000 affected housing
projects across the coun
try." Ray noted that the set
tlement is the largest in the
nation's history in a con
sumer class action case.
He said that of 76 of the
5,000 affected housing,
projects are located in
North Carolina.
Persons who lived in a
so-called Section 236
housing project between
February I, 1975, and
September 30 1977, may
be eligible for refunds but
must .file claims before
next January 31.
The Section 236 pro
gram was created by the
1968 Housing Act to pro
vide apartments for
families who earned too
much to qualify for public
housing but too little to be
able to afford housing in
the private market.
The projects are able to
charge low rents because
HUD subsidized their
mortgages.
The lawsuit were filed in '
U.S. District Court in
Washington after HUD
refused to obey the law
and pay for increased
utility costs in the housing
projects. Since the depart
ment would not pay the
bills, the project owners
and managers increased
rents to cover them.
In 1977,- while the
lawsuits were pending,
Congress passed a second
law, mandating HUD to
make the payments from a
special reserve fund.
Last year, former HUD
secretary Patricia Roberts
Harris ordered the depart
ment to settle the lawsuits.
Under that settlement,
which was completed in
September, five Legal Ser
vices lawyers who filed the
lawsuits agreed to oversee
the disbursement of the
refunds, and not the
federal housing depart
ment. The lawyers have in
vested the $60 million and
the income that the in
vestments generate will
pay for processing the
refunds and publicizing
i hem. The lawyers have
hired a private firm to
handle the refunds and J.
Walter Thompson adver
tising firm to put together
a $150,000 radio and TV
campaign to alert eligible
families of the refunds.
HUD has sent claim
forms to all the involved ;
projects, but the lawyers
estimate that as many as
hall' of those eligible for a
refund no longer live in
the projects.
Ray said that in North
Carollha persons who
mayCjIible for refunds
should contact the
manager of the Section
236 housing projects or
call the national claims of
fice toll free at-800824-7980.
He said that persons,
needing assistance in fill
ing out the claims form
should contact their local
legal services office.
Projects in the Durham
areas that are affected are
Hardee Street, 1222
Naples Place, Durham;
Cheek Road, 1835 Cheek
Road, Durham; Franklin
Court, Elm Street,
Louisburg; Young
Avenue, Wilson & Moving
Street, Henderson.
