A lawsuit filed regarding the alleged racial discrimination and long-term harassment of a Black child in New Kent County has been settled, according to the Housing Opportunities Made Equal of Virginia, Inc. nonprofit.

The lawsuit was filed in the Richmond Federal District Courthouse in late 2022 by the organization and Ge'Andra Johnson of Johnson Legal, PLC. It alleged, among several complaints of race-related discrimination towards a child, that the Putze’s Mobile Home Park in New Kent violated state and federal Fair Housing laws.

Clients Ronald Maybush and his granddaughter -- referred to as "K.M." in all relevant documents -- lived in the park during K.M.'s elementary school years, beginning in 2014.

K.M., who has both Black and white heritage, reportedly experienced long-term racial harassment at the hands of residents, park owner Peggy Putze, Putze's family and some employees beginning in 2019.
