The Fair Housing Council of Suburban Philadelphia (FHCSP), a single mother, and her minor child settled federal housing discrimination complaints filed against the owners and agent of Garden Court Apartments in Glenolden. Garden Court Apartments is an apartment complex in Glenolden, PA owned and operated by Bridget Brady and John Brady of Broomall, PA. Alyxandria Garcia, a single mother with a three year old daughter, contacted FHCSP after being told she couldn't rent an available apartment because Garden Court Apartments did not permit children in the complex.
