The yearslong lawsuit that has left the former Watuppa Heights housing project property in legal limbo could be over in less than a month.

A mediation by a judge could potentially end the lawsuit, and pave the way for that 10-acre property at Rodman and Warren streets to be reused.

The lawsuit was first filed in 2021 in Bristol County Superior Court by two former Watuppa Heights residents and the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, a statewide nonprofit dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness and housing inequality.

On Feb. 9, 2021, former residents Juanita Thompson and Marilyn Gomez and the nonprofit sued the Fall River Housing Authority; the city of Fall River; Timothy Barrow, then-executive director of FRHA; and Mayor Paul Coogan.
