Fair Housing Action Center Offers New Disability and Housing Training

The Fair Housing Action Center has developed a NEW Know Your Rights training covering Disability and Housing. In this training, we review the fair housing rights of people with disabilities, including their right to reasonable accommodations and modifications. Reasonable accommodations and modifications include things like installing grab bars in bathrooms for stability, reserved parking for mobility challenges, and emotional support animals to help manage mental health. 

Attendees will learn how to request reasonable accommodations and modifications, what resources are available to pay for modifications, and what to do if their request is denied. We also offer this training to service providers, case managers, health care workers, and anyone else who might request accommodations or modifications on behalf of their clients. 

If you’re interested in this training for your community, clients, or team, contact Robyn at Robyn@marylandconsumers.org.
