I lived in NYCHA with my mother and daughters, but for many years my husband is living in the appt unauthorized occupied now called to court.

Generally the HA would have to give you a fair hearing if there was an issue concerning your recertification and the fact that your husband's income was not set forth in your recertification application. If you are already in court, it is very important that you get an attorney to represent you. Depending on the grounds that the HA is taking you to court for, it is possible that an attorney can work out a settlement to preserve your right to the apartment. It is extremely important that you try to hold onto the apartment because it would be very difficult to find a comparable rent in New York. I repeat, do not try to do this without an attorney!
