One strike & you're out drug policy for public housing
The Supreme Court affirmed the government's zero-tolerance anti-drug policy for tenants of public housing. The "one strike and you're out" policy upheld by the court applies even if tenants were unaware of drug use by their children or grandchildren
listed on the lease. The challenge was brought by four senior citizens who received eviction notices. The evictions were authorized under regulations implemented in 1996, when Andrew Cuomo was Housing and Urban Development secretary.
