In sum, there can be no genuine dispute of fact as to
whether the Housing Authority provided constitutionally
adequate notice of the change to the payment standard, or
more important, the meaning and effect of the change on the
plaintiffs’ Section 8 benefits. The Housing Authority simply
failed to do so. The simplest means of ensuring adequate
notice was the means requested by the plaintiffs: a simple
and clear letter, written in plain English (or Spanish), mailed
directly to the plaintiffs one year in advance of the date of the
change’s implementation—a letter that contained an
understandable explanation of the change and the effect of
that change on Section 8 benefits; in other words, a flyer that
met the requirements of due process.
