Plaintiff Michael Nozzi, a Section 8 beneficiary since
December 2003, is totally and permanently disabled under
Social Security’s standards. As a result of the 2004 change,
his expected rent contribution increased 48%—from $231 to
$342 per month. Plaintiff Nidia Palaez, a beneficiary since
February 2004, is a single mother with a young daughter.
She experienced a 177% increase in her portion of the rent as
a result of the 2004 change. She alleges that this increase has
adversely affected her family’s quality of life, that she has
had difficulty affording suitable school clothes for her
daughter, and that she has had to divert money from her food
budget to cover her increased rent costs.
