Disabled couple appeals after housing case dismissed

Nearly a year after a married disabled couple filed a federal lawsuit claiming both their caretakers and New York State violated their civil rights by failing to secure housing for them, a judge has dismissed the case — though the Riverhead couple’s family is still holding out hope, having already appealed the decision.

Paul and Hava Forziano tied the knot last May, after seven years of dating and a two-year engagement. The couple lived at two separate disability providers contracted by New York State at the time of their marriage, neither of which permitted the couple to live together once they married.
