Immediately after the Rucker decision, the HUD Secretary, Mel Martinez, issued a letter to all public housing authorities where he advised that the no-fault eviction statute had been upheld, but urged all to be guided by compassion and common sense. He further stated that the decision to evict is entrusted to the local authorities and that the statute does not require eviction. In his concluding remark, he stated: "We look forward to working with you in a firm yet compassionate way of applying this new tool to benefit the residents of public housing."
