7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Evergreen Square of Cudahy, et al v. Wisconsin Housing & Economic Development Authority

Case No.: 16-1475

Officials: BAUER, ROVNER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Evergreen Square of Cudahy (“Evergreen Square”), Grant Park Square Apartments Company (“Grant Park”), and Washington Square Apartments Company (“Washington Square”) are property owners (collectively, “Owners”) who participated in the federal rental assistance program commonly known as “Section 8.” They sued the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (“Wisconsin Housing” or the “Authority”) for allegedly breaching the contracts that governed payments to the Owners under the program. Because Wisconsin Housing receives all of its Section 8 funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), the Authority filed a third-party breach of contract claim against HUD. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Wisconsin Housing and dismissed the claims against HUD as moot. The Owners appeal and we affirm.
