Spring Creek Towers Sued for Barring Tenants on De Blasio’s Rent Program

The country’s largest federally subsidized housing complex has been illegally turning down families hoping to lease its apartments using rent vouchers from a program Mayor Bill de Blasio started to combat homelessness, a new lawsuit charges.

Regina Alston and Sandra Vaughn-Cooke are suing the owner and property manager of Spring Creek Towers in Brooklyn, claiming the housing complex discriminated against them after they inquired about available apartments.
