PHA Can Evict Resident for Children’s Criminal Activity

Facts: The local PHA initiated termination proceedings against a resident with five children, two of whom are minors. Police had recovered from the unit a significant amount of marijuana, a bottle of oxycodone pills, and a loaded and operable firearm. The resident wasn’t present at the time of the search, and there was no evidence that she had specific knowledge of the presence of the weapon or the drugs, which apparently were brought into the unit by her older children and their friends.
