Anna Harris was a tenant of an apartment complex owned by the defendants at the time she filed an action under the Fair Housing Act for racial discrimination. During the pendency of the action she moved from the apartment complex. Ms. Harris appeals the district court’s order dismissing her action for lack of standing and, in the alternative, granting the defendant’s motion for summary judgment due to insufficient evidence. This court has jurisdiction to review final judgment entered by the district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. While we agree with the district court that Harris does not have standing for injunctive and declaratory relief, we conclude that Harris still has standing under the Fair Housing Act to seek money damages. We also conclude that Harris’ claims are sufficient to survive summary judgment. Consequently, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the district court for further proceedings.
