In Ungar v. NYCHA (363 Fed. Appx. 53, 2010 US App. [2d Cir 2010]), the Hasidic plaintiffs acknowledged the "historic over-representation of Hasidic in the Williamsburg projects" and the United States District Court found that the: "Authority's records also demonstrate that large apartments in the three developments are currently occupied almost entirely by Jewish families, and that all families on the waiting list for apartments of seven rooms or more in the three Williamsburg projects are Hasidic" Further, as noted in that case, the Hasidic families stated "that they cannot live outside of Williamsburg" due to religious reasons (id.), furthering the insular, but expanding community of Hasidic families in Williamsburg, potentially to the exclusion of the larger community. The Hasidic plaintiffs in Ungar unsuccessfully sought to facilitate this religious-based need by seeking a unique accommodation enabling Hasidic applicants to have special rights in the application and waiting list protocol so that they could remain in Williamsburg, while other applicants would have to accept apartments when and where they became available.
