Judge Mark Sher ruled that the city’s emergency housing policy was “irrational” as there was no consistency in the solutions offered to different groups of evictees.
“Evictees such as the applicants who have been living in Woodstock and Salt River for many years are at risk of having to be relocated either to the outskirts of the city or to informal settlements outside the city, away from their workplace, educational facilities, clinics and places of religious worship, while other evictees will not be subjected to these same disadvantages.
“This case has highlighted that the city needs to proactively plan for emergency housing needs which are only growing and that it needs to be responsive and accountable to the people it is meant to serve.” “I am very happy for this victory because it can help people who are in the same situation – people who never knew their rights, people who don’t know what is happening when evictions are happening to them.
