United States v. Town of Beekman (S.D.N.Y.)

On March 5, 2026, the United States Attorney’s Office filed a Fair Housing Act pattern or practice complaint in United States v. Town of Beekman (S.D.N.Y.). In the complaint, the United States alleges the Town engaged in disability discrimination by failing to grant a reasonable accommodation to Bunkhouse Recovery Ranch NY, a group home for persons in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. The Town’s zoning decisions, including a failure to grant a special use permit, have prevented Bunkhouse from operating.
