Irma Howard, (plaintiff-appellant) brought this action against the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Grand Rapids Housing Commission (GRHC) (defendants-appellees) seeking to enjoin an alleged violation of the Brooke Amendment of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (Act). 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1437a. The issue in this case is whether tenants of low income housing may enforce the Brooke Amendment through private litigation. The district court determined that no private right of action exists under the Brooke Amendment and dismissed the suit; Howard appeals this dismissal.
