The Jiggetts case established New York City's Jiggetts housing assistance program, which was ultimately replaced by the Family Eviction Prevention Supplement in 2005. The procedures in the case went under the titles Jiggetts v. Grinker and Jiggetts v. Dowling. ==Jiggetts v. Grinker (1988)== The case started as a class action brought in the New York State courts by recipients of AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children).〔(Housing and community development in New York City: facing the future By Michael H. Schill )〕 Plaintiffs filed an action challenging the adequacy of the shelter allowance schedule for families with children in New York City. They argued that they were entitled to grant levels adequate to pay the rents actually charged and that the New York State Department of Social Services had violated this entitlement by failing to increase the shelter allowance to keep pace with shelter costs. They asserted their claims under § 350(1)(a) of the New York Social Services Law and Article XVII of the New York State Constitution. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss, the trial court denied that motion, and the defendants appealed to the New York Court of Appeals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jiggetts (New York legal case)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
