The Town of Southampton discriminated against veterans when it denied a proposal to build 50 units of affordable housing for former military service members and others, a nonprofit claimed in a new federal lawsuit.
Medford-based Concern for Independent Living, Inc. filed the lawsuit in Central Islip federal court alleging that members of the town board violated the Fair Housing Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, New York State Human Rights Law and the state’s Environmental Quality Review Act when it blocked construction of Liberty Gardens in Tuckahoe.
