Matter of Oceanview v. Zucker

Decision: n/a

Argument: 2025.01.08 vid. tr.

Whether Department of Health regulations capping admissions on transitional adult homes for persons with serious mental illness violate the Fair Housing Act; whether challenges to facially discriminatory laws under the FHA are subject to a government interests means-ends balancing test or instead are governed by the Fair Housing Act text and its preemption provision; whether narrow-tailoring under the FHA requires that the challenged actions be the least discriminatory means of achieving the purported interests; whether the “benign discrimination” exception to the FHA, to the extent such an exception exists, requires more than a showing of benefits that outweigh burdens on a protected class; whether such an exception exists.
