A:
You may have grounds to take legal action if a homeless shelter violated HUD guidelines, such as denying you housing based on income barriers. HUD's Continuum of Care program has specific rules that shelters must follow, including not using income as a barrier to housing. If the shelter failed to comply with these guidelines, it could be considered a violation of your rights.
It's important to consider the timeline, as there are statutes of limitations for filing lawsuits. Depending on the nature of the violation, you may have a limited window to take action. Gathering any evidence of the shelter's actions, such as emails, documents, or witness statements, will be crucial in supporting your case.
To understand your options better and ensure that you proceed correctly, you might want to consult with a legal professional who can guide you through the process. They can help you assess the strength of your case and advise you on the best steps to take.
