What happened

This is a proposed class action against the Tennessee Housing Development Agency and its board members. The lawsuit appears to allege civil rights violations in connection with the agency's housing programs, though the docket text does not specify the exact conduct. The case involves motions regarding jurisdictional discovery and a stay of discovery, and it references a similar case against Oklahoma's housing finance agency.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
