Somai v. City of Bedford, OH
On April 18, 2019, WRP filed an amended complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, challenging a criminal activity nuisance ordinance in Bedford, Ohio, on behalf of Beverly Somai and the Fair Housing Center for Rights & Research. Bedford鈥檚 nuisance ordinance penalizes property owners when two or more perceived violations of any law, excluding traffic violations, occur near the home or involve a resident of the property within a one-year period. The city enforces the ordinance based on calls for police assistance 鈥� even if the resident is the victim of the crime or needs aid, such as Ms. Somai and her son. Bedford鈥檚 ordinance and its enforcement disproportionately impacts communities of color, low-income households, people with disabilities, and domestic violence survivors鈥攖he vast majority of whom are women.
