Abstract
In the late 1970s and early 1980s tenant selection and assignment issues again came to the fore as outside parties began to play a larger role in promoting change at the BHA. However, unlike past years, during this period the major force was neither HUD nor politicians; it was the courts. Following suits brought by legal service attorneys representing BHA tenants to improve general operations and conditions, a master was appointed by the court to plan and monitor BHA activities. Later, when progress was judged inordinately slow, further suits resulted in the court’s actually taking over the BHA through an appointed receiver. As a result of the court’s involvement, issues which had lain dormant for several years suddenly gained new attention and several major new thrusts in tenant selection and assignment emerged.
