Village of Hinsdale paying thousands in housing discrimination settlement
HINSDALE, Ill. (CBS) -- The Village of Hinsdale will pay $800,000 to settle a housing discrimination lawsuit.
Federal prosecutors say the village violated the fair housing act after refusing to allow a sober living home.
Hinsdale argued the home was not zoned for commercial use.
A judge found people recovering from drug and alcohol addictions can be considered individuals with disabilities and cannot be excluded from residential neighborhoods.
