The lawsuit was filed by a woman with spina bifida, a birth defect affecting the spine, who is losing her apartment because her landlord is facing foreclosure. The disabled woman, Rebecca Taylor, hoped the Housing Authority would help her find a new handicap-accessible apartment, but she had to resort to a federal lawsuit to get that help.
