Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Since there is no reason to suppose that the [HACM] is in a better position than a court to determine how many people are living together under one roof or that [the tenant] was prevented from presenting fully to the court her version of the facts, the [HACM] was not constitutionally required to afford her a second hearing before or after it decided to expel her.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. § 1437f, authorizes the Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ('HUD') to establish various programs to 'aid[ ] lower-income families in obtaining a decent place to live and [to] promot[e] economically mixed housing.' These programs are financed by the federal government, regulated by HUD, and administered by state public housing agencies ('PHA's'). One such program--the rent assistance program--helps low-income families to obtain rental housing in the open market. Briefly, the program works as follows: HUD contracts with a local PHA to make available each year a sum of money for the payment of rent on behalf of a specified number of families with incomes below a certain amount. The PHA then distributes this money by contracting to pay each person who agrees to rent housing to one of these families a fixed percentage of the family's rent.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[I]t is plain that just as job tenure is a species of property protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, ... so too is “program tenure,” the right of certificate holders to participate in a rent assistance program by seeking out persons willing and able to rent them housing pursuant to the rules of the program.”
