    The letters sent to high-ranking officials, unlike the flyer that was sent
to the plaintiffs, also provided a list of people who could help the Section
8 beneficiaries with a housing search.

      We reject the Housing Authority’s arguments that (1) there was a
minimal risk that plaintiffs would have been erroneously deprived of their
property interest because it legally decreased the payment standard and
that (2) any error connected with the notice was harmless because the
“benefit change would have admittedly been the same.” Again, these
arguments stem from a misunderstanding of the nature of plaintiffs’
protected property interest. While the Housing Authority could lawfully
change the payment standard, the plaintiffs have a legitimate expectation
in a one-year term of benefits to plan for and adjust to upcoming changes.
The Housing Authority’s failure to provide adequate notice deprived them
of that right.
