Charles M. HOLLIS, Jr.; Melanie Hollis, Individually and as Next Friends for H.H. and C.A.H., two minor children, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. CHESTNUT BEND HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 13-6434.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Argued: June 19, 2014. Decided and Filed: July 29, 2014.
760 F.3d 531
OPINION
JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal we are asked to determine the proper summary-judgment framework for evaluating a reasonable-modification claim brought under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). Melanie and Charles Hollis filed a complaint against the Chestnut Bend Homeowners Association (CBHA), which governed their residential neighborhood and enforced the neighborhood‘s restrictive covenants. The complaint charged the CBHA with unlawfully refusing to permit the Hollises to construct a sunroom addition to their home. The sunroom allegedly would have alleviated some of the problems experienced by the Hollises’ two minor children, H.H. and C.A.H., each of whom has been diagnosed with Down Syndrome. The Hollises brought the suit both individually and as “next friends” of the children. The district court dismissed their personal-capacity claims for want of standing and then, applying the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting test to the reasonable-modification claim, awarded summary judgment to the CBHA on the “next friend” claim. We vacate and remand.
I.
The events at the heart of this suit transpired in late 2011 and early 2012, when Charles and Melanie Hollis lived with their five children in a house they owned in Franklin, Tennessee. Their two youngest children, H.H. and C.A.H., both had Down Syndrome and suffered from developmental disabilities. H.H. was prone to spontaneous outbursts and self-injurious attacks, and C.A.H. experienced severe hearing and vision impairment. No one disputes that H.H. and C.A.H. were disabled within the meaning of the FHA. This action instead turns on whether the CBHA unlawfully refused to permit the Hollises to attach a sunroom to their house in order to permit H.H. and C.A.H. to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of sunlight.
A.
The Hollises’ home was situated in a residential subdivision known as Chestnut Bend, which encompasses about 168 houses. The CBHA, a not-for-profit corporation, was responsible for managing the neighborhood. The CBHA was governed by a five-member board, which retained Westwood Property Management to manage the CBHA‘s day-to-day affairs. Westwood employed Mary Jean Turner to act as its property manager, and in that capacity Turner regularly met and corresponded with the board.
Properties located within Chestnut Bend were subject to various covenants, conditions, and restrictions. One such covenant barred homeowners within Chestnut Bend from erecting above-ground structures or improvements until the homeowner acquired approval from the CBHA‘s Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Three members comprised the ARC, all of whom the board appointed but none of whom were members of the board. One board member acted as a liaison between the ARC and the board, and Turner acted as a liaison between the ARC and the homeowners.
Homeowners submitted architectural improvement applications to Turner using a form application captioned “APPLICATION FOR FENCE/STRUCTURE/EXTERIOR CHANGE-080810” (Form 080810). Form 080810 provided that homeowners seeking ARC approval must submit the proposed structure‘s specifications together with a plot plan showing the homeowner‘s property lines and building setbacks, a sample board of materials to be
Turner was then responsible for putting the application into the hands of the ARC members and the board‘s ARC liaison. The ARC would review the proposal and convey its decision to Turner. Chestnut Bend‘s Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions stipulated that any architectural plan submitted to the ARC “shall be deemed approved if not acted upon by the [ARC or the board] within thirty (30) days of submission.” If the ARC decided not to approve a project, it often provided no reason for its decision; Turner simply sent a boilerplate letter informing the applicants of the ARC‘s decision. A homeowner who was displeased with the ARC‘s decision could request review of his or her application by the board.
B.
At some point in time the pediatric cardiologist treating H.H. and C.A.H. advised the Hollises that the children “would benefit from a particularized living environment that is therapeutically designed to stimulate their development.” The Hollises therefore decided to construct a sunroom addition to their house. They chose their preferred design for the sunroom and submitted four separate prоposals to the ARC. Although this appeal relates only to the fourth proposal, the Hollises initially challenged the CBHA‘s treatment of each application, and the district court analyzed all four. We therefore provide a brief review of each application.
In March 2011 Mrs. Hollis sent an email to an ARC member declaring the Hollises’ intention to add a sunroom to their house. The next day Mrs. Hollis provided that ARC member with Form 080810, which listed the proposed sunroom‘s measurements and included a photograph of the proposed design. But the application did not provide the detailed specifications required by the ARC, and it included no information about the exterior elevations, property lines and setbacks, or materials. The following month Turner sent a letter to the Hollises stating that their application was incomplete and asking them to resubmit their application with the missing information. The Hollises’ contractor subsequently delivered the requested specifications to Turner, but the board nevertheless rejected the Hollises’ application because they disapproved of the aesthetics of the proposed construction materials.
The Hollises submitted a second application in August 2011. They proposed a new design for the sunroom that would better match their house and the other residences in the community. The exterior would be covered in the same style of siding used on the Hollises’ house, and they opted for a shingled roof rather than metal. But the ARC vetoed this proposal as well and asked the Hollises to use a brick or stone exterior rather than siding. Turner also asked them to submit an exterior plot plan and a professional drawing of the proposed sunroom.
Rather than submitting the requested information, the Hollises sent an email in September 2011 proposing to construct an exact replica of the sunroom owned by Chestnut Bend homeowner and former ARC member Clay Morgan. Like the two prior proposals, this application omitted many of the details required by Form 080810, and the board immediately denied the application for that reason. In a lengthy, exasperated, and heartfelt email response to that denial, Mrs. Hollis explained that the sunroom‘s “sole purpose”
Three weeks later Turner responded by letter and again asked the Hollises to submit a complete application packet, including a plot plan, professional drawings of the sunroom, and samples of the materials to be used. Mrs. Hollis responded in an email whose tone betrayed her vexation. Although she declined the board‘s invitation to attend one of its meetings, she berated the ARC and board members who were responsible for the denial of her applications. Mrs. Hollis attached to her email copies of her previous correspondence with the ARC and board members, and she also attached photographs of the proposed sunroom, apparently in lieu of the requested drawings and samples. Mrs. Hollis also pasted the text of the FHA‘s “reasonable accommodations” provision and stated that she would “involve an attorney” if her application were again denied. Evidently no one responded to Mrs. Hollis‘s email.
Sometime around October 2011 both the Hollises and the CBHA retained counsel, and the involvement of dispassionate personalities led to a denouement of sorts. After a spurt of communications between the two sides, Bob Notestine, counsel for the CBHA, sought to reset the application process and asked the Hollises’ attorney to submit a complete application “clearly showing what [the Hollises] want to build and meeting the application criteria.” On December 6, 2011, the Hollises’ attorney, Tracey McCartney, submitted a complete application to Turner. In an email conversation the next day, members of the ARC agreed to approve the application “with one change“: The ARC wanted the Hollises to use a shingled roof rather than the metal roof proposed in their application. But the ARC members agreed that the ultimate decision to approve the Hollises’ application should be made by the board. Turner forwarded the ARC members’ email conversation to the board.
The board discussed the Hollises’ application at its December 13 meeting. The minutes of that meeting reveal that the board planned to prepare an “approval letter” that included a “request for consideration of a shingled roof.” Notestine sent a board-approved letter to McCartney two days later. The letter stated that “the ARC prefers not to approve a metal roof” because “there is some feeling that approval of metal roofs could create a new standard or at least would cause confusion about the shingle roof preference.” The letter concluded by asking whether the Hollises “would agree to the above request[] by the ARC. If so, I would suspect that approval will be forthcoming.”
McCartney responded that same day. “The Hollises will consider the shingled roof option,” she wrote, “but cost will be a consideration.” McCartney reminded Notestine that the ARC had previously identified metal as an acceptable roof material in its communications with Mrs. Hollis, and in McCartney‘s view “the ARC appears to have moved the goalposts again.” McCartney promised to “get back to [Notestine] on the roof ASAP” but also “encourage[d] the ARC to honor” its previous commitment to permit the Hollises to use a metal roof. Notestine forwarded the letter to Turner, who in turn forwarded it to the board members.
McCartney sent another letter to Notestine the following day—December 16.
Notestine did not respond to McCartney‘s letter until one month later. On January 16, 2012, he sent an email to McCartney apologizing that the past month had been “particularly hectic.” “You stated in your letter that your clients would proceed ‘with available legal options.’ What options have your clients decided to pursue?” Notestine then asked McCartney to advise him “how your clients want to proceed in this matter.” Notestine copied Turner on the email.
C.
Sometime in early 2011, shortly after the ARC opposed the Hollises’ initial effort to construct a sunroom, the Hollises began to look for a new house in a different neighborhood. In December 2011 they found a suitable house, but Mrs. Hollis was very reluctant to leave the house in Chestnut Bend. Ultimately Mr. Hollis concluded that the sunroom fiasco was too discomfiting, and he convinced Mrs. Hollis to move the family to the new house. The Hollises moved into their new house in March 2012 and sold their Chestnut Bend home that same month.
Mr. and Mrs. Hollis filed this action against the CBHA and Westwood on February 2, 2012, both individually and as next friends of their children, H.H. and C.A.H. The complaint lists just one count: a violation of the FHA,
In September 2013 the district court disposed of the remaining claim against the CBHA. The court first held that the Hollises lacked standing to bring a personal-capacity FHA claim. Mr. and Mrs. Hollis “fail[ed] to distinguish their individual claims from their children‘s claims in both the Complaint and their briefs,” the district court stated, and “fail[ed] to demonstrate any individual standing that [they] may have in this matter as parents of H.H. and C.A.H.” Hollis v. Chestnut Bend Homeowners Ass‘n, 974 F.Supp.2d 1096, 1097 (M.D.Tenn.2013). After dismissing the Hollises’ personal-capacity claim, the district court then awarded summary judgment to the CBHA on the Hollises’ next-friend claim. To analyze their FHA reasonable-modification claim, the court applied the “three-part evidentiary standard set forth by the Supreme Court for employment discrimination cases in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973).” Id. at 1109. The district court concluded that the Hollises and the CBHA satisfied their burdens at steps one and two, respectively, of the McDonnell Douglas test, but the court awarded summary judgment to the CBHA after determining that the Hollises “failed to produce anything—not even a scintilla of evidence—to suggest that the CBHA‘s aesthetic reasons for rejecting the [sunroom proposal] were pretextual or unworthy of belief.” Id. at 1113.
The Hollises filed a Rule 59 motion to alter or amend the judgment, arguing that
II.
Because there is no dispute that Mr. and Mrs. Hollis have standing to assert the FHA claim as next friends of their children, we begin by analyzing the merits of the FHA claim and then address their personal-capacity standing.
A.
The Fair Housing Act, broadly speaking, prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing and in the provision of housing services or facilities “because of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin.”
The parallels between Title VII and the FHA are not exact, and perhaps the most substantial differences relate to the protection of disabled persons—a class that was excluded from both Title VII and the original FHA. Congress enacted the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988,
The Hollises’ complaint invoked all but the first of these theories: They alleged that the CBHA (1) enforced its regulations, rules, and policies “in a manner that ha[d] a disparate impact on the Plaintiffs,” (2) “[f]ail[ed] to allow the Plaintiffs to make a reasonable modification to their home to afford them an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the Property,” and (3) “[f]ail[ed] to make reasonable accommodations to afford the Plaintiffs an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the Property.” But the Hollises abandoned their disparate-impact claim at the summary-judgment stage, and although they preserved their reasonable-accommodation claim for review in this court, they have urged both the district court and this court to treat their complaint as a reasonable-modifiсation claim.
1. Application of the McDonnell Douglas Test
The district court acknowledged that the Hollises were proceeding on a reasonable-modification theory. Hollis, 974 F.Supp.2d at 1109-10. But the court evidently thought that the Hollises’ choice of theory was immaterial to its analysis; in its view, all FHA claims “are to be analyzed using the three-part evidentiary standard set forth by the Supreme Court for employment discrimination cases in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973).” Id. (citing Lindsay v. Yates, 578 F.3d 407, 414–15 (6th Cir.2009); Mencer v. Princeton Square Apartments, 228 F.3d 631, 634 (6th Cir.2000)). “On summary judgment, this burden-shifting scheme first requires that the plaintiff present evidence from which a reasonable jury could conclude that there exists a prima facie case of housing discrimination.” Lindsay, 578 F.3d at 414-15. A successful prima facie showing causes the burden of production to “shift[] to the defendant to offer evidence of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the adverse housing decision.” Id. at 415 (internal quotation marks omitted). The burden of production then “shifts back to the plaintiff to identify evidence from which a reasonable jury could conclude that the proffered reason is actually pretext for unlawful discrimination.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). At all times the burden of persuasion rests with the plaintiff. Id. at 421 (citing Peters v. Lincoln Elec. Co., 285 F.3d 456, 470 (6th Cir.2002)).
At the outset, we emphasize that what we refer to as the McDonnell Douglas test is the intent-divining test described above. Unfortunately, both courts and litigants often confusingly refer to any burden-
The district court was satisfied that the Hollises and the CBHA met their respective burdens at steps one and two of McDonnell Douglas. Hollis, 974 F.Supp.2d at 1111-13. But the court awarded summary judgment to the CBHA at step three because “the Hollis Family has failed to produce anything—not even a scintilla of evidence—to suggest that the CBHA‘s aesthetic reasons for rejecting [the Hollises’ final sunroom application] were pretextual or unworthy of belief.” Id. at 1113. After faulting the Hollises for “fail[ing] to address the issue of pretext” in their briefs, the district court held that the CBHA‘s motives were above reproach. Id. Although the CBHA‘s approval process was “persnickety” and “the ARC was fastidious as to its design preferences for the neighborhood,” the district court said, there was no evidence that either the CBHA or the ARC acted with ill will or malevolent intent when they refused to approve the Hollises’ final application. Id. at 1113 & n. 19.
This focus on “ill will” logically followed from the district court‘s reliance on the McDonnell Douglas test, but it also highlights why the district court was wrong to presume that the McDonnell Douglas test applies to all FHA claims, irrespective of the theory of liability that the plaintiff invokes. In assessing and resolving an FHA claim, the appropriate analytical framework depends on the theory of liability under which the plaintiff proceeds. Because a disparate-treatment claim requires the plaintiff to establish discriminatory animus, analysis of such a claim focuses on the defendant‘s intent. See HDC, LLC v. City of Ann Arbor, 675 F.3d 608, 612 (6th Cir.2012) (“To prevail on a disparate treatment claim, a plaintiff must show proof of intentional discrimination.“). This court therefore applies the three-step McDonnell Douglas test, which shifts the burden of production from the plaintiff to the defendant and then back to the plaintiff in an effort to zero in on the specific intent underlying the defendant‘s conduct. See St. Mary‘s Honor Ctr. v. Hicks, 509 U.S. 502, 506, 113 S.Ct. 2742, 125 L.Ed.2d 407 (1993).
A disparate-impact сlaim, by contrast, turns not on the defendant‘s intent but instead on the broader effects of the disputed housing practice. See Graoch Assocs., 508 F.3d at 371 (“[T]o show disparate impact, a plaintiff must demonstrate that a facially neutral policy or practice has the effect of discriminating against a protected class of which the plaintiff is a member.“). The McDonnell Douglas test, designed to discern intent, therefore is inapplicable. This court instead uses a different framework that requires the defendant to establish a sufficient business interest in the disputed practice. Compare id. at 374 (opinion of Boggs, J.) (proposing a framework that balances the magnitude of the discriminatory effect of the defendant‘s housing policy against the strength of the business interests underpinning the challenged policy or practice), with id. at 382 (Moore, J., concurring) (proposing a modified framework that would require the plaintiff to establish a prima facie case of disparate impact and would then shift the burden to the defendant to prove “that the challenged practice constituted a business necessity and that there existed no less discriminatory alternatives that could serve the business interest“).3
Nor is the McDonnell Douglas intent-divining test applicable to FHA reasonable-accommodation claims, which do not require proof of discriminatory intent. See Peebles v. Potter, 354 F.3d 761, 766 (8th Cir.2004) (“Reasonable accommodation claims are not evaluated under the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting analysis. . . . This is so because a claim against an employer for failing to reasonably accommodate a disabled employee does not turn on the employеr‘s intent or actual motive.“). Section
The McDonnell Douglas test is similarly ill-suited for analysis of an FHA reasonable-modification claim. No court of appeals has delineated the appropriate analytical framework for a reasonable-modification claim, but the absence of directly applicable precedent should not be mistaken for a lack of guidance. Both
2. The Appropriate Legal Standard
Having rejected the McDonnell Douglas test, we turn to a determination of the proper legal standard. An FHA reasonable-modification plaintiff, like an FHA reasonable-accommodation plaintiff, must prove both the reasonableness and necessity of the requested modification. And although we sometimes refer to those as the “operative elements,” other equally important elements also comprise the claim. In addition to proving reasonableness and necessity, an FHA reasonable-accommodation or reasonable-modification plaintiff also must prove that she suffers from a disability, that she requestеd an accommodation or modification, that the defendant housing provider refused to make the accommodation or to permit the modification, and that the defendant knew or should have known of the disability at the time of the refusal. See Overlook Mut. Homes, Inc. v. Spencer, 415 Fed.Appx. 617, 621 (6th Cir.2011) (citing DuBois v. Ass‘n of Apartment Owners of 2987 Kalakaua, 453 F.3d 1175, 1179 (9th Cir.2005)). The burden is on the plaintiff to establish each element. See Groner v. Golden Gate Gardens Apartments, 250 F.3d 1039, 1044-45 (6th Cir.2001); see also Smith & Lee Assocs., 102 F.3d at 796 n. 11.
Occasionally we have described a reasonable-accommodation claim as having a third operative element: whether the requested accommodation would afford the disabled resident an equal opportunity to enjoy the property.5 See Smith & Lee Assocs., 102 F.3d at 794-95. But that third element is subsumed within the necessity inquiry. “Equal opportunity” means that disabled individuals are entitled to live in the same residences and communities as non-disabled individuals, insofar as that can be accomplishеd through a reasonable accommodation or modification. Id. at 795. The statute then “links the term ‘necessary’ to the goal of equal opportunity.” Id. Thus, an FHA reasonable-accommodation or reasonable-modification plaintiff must show that, but for the requested accommodation or modification, he “likely will be denied an equal opportunity to enjoy the housing of [his] choice.” Id. (citing Bronk v. Ineichen, 54 F.3d 425, 429 (7th Cir.1995)). The necessity element is, in other words, a causation inquiry that examines whether the requested accommodation or modification would redress injuries that otherwise would prevent a disabled resident from receiving the same enjoyment from the property as a non-disabled person would receive. See Wis. Cmty. Servs., Inc., 465 F.3d at 749.
But the crux of a reasonable-accommodation or reasonable-modification claim typically will be the question of reasonableness. To determine the reason-
3. Whether To Shift the Burden of Persuasion
Finally, we turn to the mechanics of this standard. To appraise the magnitude of the burden that the requested modification would impose on the defendant, the Hollises urge this court to employ a burden-shifting framework. Their proposed framework would locate the initial burden of persuasion on the plaintiff to establish that the requested accommodation or modification is both reasonable and necessary. The burden would then shift to the defendant to demonstrate that the accommodation or modification would create an undue hardship. The Hollises model their proposed framework in part on a single sentence in Groner, where this court stated that, after the plaintiff establishes the reasonableness of the proposed accommodation, the burden of persuasion shifts to the defendant to show that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship. Id. at 1044.
There are two ways to understand the statement in Groner. One interpretation is that Groner altered this circuit‘s discrimination law by shifting the ultimate burden of persuasion to the defendant to show undue hardship once the plaintiff makes a prima facie showing of necessity and reasonableness. The Hollises suggest this reading would be consistent with Lapid-Laurel, LLC v. Zoning Bd. of Adjustment, 284 F.3d 442, 457-58 (3d Cir. 2002), which held that the burden to prove un reasonableness shifts to the defendant once the plaintiff shows that the requested accommodation is necessary. In Lapid-Laurel, however, the Third Circuit was bound by circuit precedent holding that the initial burden of proving unreasonableness falls on the defendant, see id., an allocation that was in direct conflict with Groner, which imposed the burden to demonstrate reasonableness on the plaintiff. See Groner, 250 F.3d at 1045. Lapid-Laurel is therefore a bad lens through which to interpret Groner.
The Hollises also claim to find support for this interpretation in Monette v. Elec. Data Sys. Corp., 90 F.3d 1173, 1183-84 (6th Cir.1996). But that case too is a poor source of guidance. Monette involved a claim brought under the Amеricans with Disabilities Act, which defines unlawful employment discrimination to include the failure to make “reasonable accommodations to the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual with a disability who is an applicant or employee, unless such covered entity can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the business of such covered entity.”
The better interpretation of Groner is that the court was simply explaining how a defendant can obtain summary judgment in an FHA reasonable-accommodation case. A close look at the basic summary-judgment standard shows why. When a plaintiff brings an FHA reasonable-accommodation or reasonable-modification claim, the burden of persuasion—i.e., the ultimate burden to prove both reasonableness and necessity—lies always with the plaintiff. See Groner, 250 F.3d at 1044-45; Smith & Lee Assocs., 102 F.3d at 796 n. 11. If the case goes to trial, in other words, it is the plaintiff rather than the defendant who must show that the request is both reasonable and necessary. But when the defendant moves for summary judgment, the defendant bears the burden to show that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See
Groner is best understood to be an explаnation, albeit a cursory one, of what a defendant must establish to win summary judgment in FHA reasonable-accommodation cases. The court did not expressly link its burden-shifting framework to the burden shifting that is inherent in the general summary-judgment standard. But Groner involved an FHA plaintiff‘s appeal of an order awarding summary judgment to the defendant, and the court‘s subsequent analysis of the reasonableness of the plaintiff‘s requested accommodations makes clear that the ultimate burden of persuasion never shifted to the defendant. See, e.g., id. at 1045 (“Groner was unable to demonstrate that either of these proposed accommodations was reasonable.“).
We therefore do not interpret Groner to shift the ultimate burden of persuasion in an FHA reasonable-accommodation or reasonable-modification claim. Indeed, the Supreme Court repeatedly has cautioned
*
In sum, the district court erred when it applied the McDonnell Douglas test, which focuses on intent. Intent is irrelevant in reasonable-modification cases. We therefore remand this сase to the district court to apply the proper summary-judgment framework and to determine whether the CBHA met its burden to establish that there was no genuine issue of material fact and that it was entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law.
B.
The district court also perfunctorily dismissed the personal-capacity FHA claims asserted by Mr. and Mrs. Hollis because they “fail[ed] to distinguish their individual claims from their children‘s claims in both the Complaint and their briefs” and “fail[ed] to demonstrate any individual standing that [they] may have in this matter as parents of H.H. and C.A.H.” Hollis, 974 F.Supp.2d at 1097. The district court therefore permitted Mr. and Mrs. Hollis to proceed only as “next friends” of their disabled children. The Hollises take issue with the district court‘s sua sponte dismissal of their personal-capacity claims.
The FHA permits “[a]n aggrieved person” to file a civil aсtion to seek redress,
The Hollises alleged sufficient personal injuries to establish standing to sue individually. As the district court acknowledged, the Hollises’ complaint seeks $300,000 in compensatory damages allegedly incurred when they moved from their home in Chestnut Bend—a decision they reached because they “felt as if [they] were forced out of the home,” in Mr. Hоllis‘s words. That sum includes the difference between the purchase price and sale price of their Chestnut Bend home, as well as the value of numerous improvements they made to the home while they lived there. Those costs, which the Hollises attribute to the CBHA‘s alleged discrimination against their children, are “distinct and palpable injuries” that affected the Hollises personally, rather than as “next friends” of their children. Cf. Gladstone Realtors v. Vill. of Bellwood, 441 U.S. 91, 110, 99 S.Ct. 1601, 60 L.Ed.2d 66 (1979) (holding that a reduction in property val-

The district court‘s decision is vacated. The case is remanded with instructions to apply the proper summary-judgment framework to the Hоllises’ personal-capacity and next-friends claims under the reasonable-modification provision of the Fair Housing Act.
