Lawsuit: Housing authority took Lynnwood domestic violence survivor off voucher
LYNNWOOD — The Housing Authority of Snohomish County evicted a Lynnwood woman in violation of federal law after she accused her husband of domestic violence, alleges a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
Despite being notified Kenneth McIntire was violent with Shawna McIntire, the authority helped him remove her from their housing voucher, leaving her without a home, according to the complaint filed in December.
In cases involving domestic violence, federal policy dictates the victim should retain the voucher.
After the authority evicted Shawna McIntire in early 2022, it threw away her belongings.
