Good

my

I'm,
the

director
at
project
Sentinel
project

is
a
non-profit

Its

and
equality
of
Housing

for
all
and
to
advocate
for
peaceful
resolution
of

is
in

or
dispute.

The
most
common
types
of
discrimination
from
the
statistics
from
the
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development,
known
as
HUD,
is
the
following
categories:
disability
makes
up
more
than
half
of
the
types
of
discrimination
we
see.
Race
is
20
percent,
six
percent,
retaliation
against
advocating
for
one
spare
housing
rights.
It's
10
percent
national
origin.
Discrimination
is
a
little
over
10
percent
and
we're
seeing
a
growing
amount
of
discrimination
based
on
sex
or
gender.
C
D
Most
common
types
of
discrimination
from
statistics
from
Project
Sentinel
from
the
year
2019
to
year
to
2020.
we're
seeing
68
percent
of
our
intake
cases
are
based
on
disability.
15
are
based
on
familial
status,
10
national
origin,
eight
percent
race
and
six
percent
sex.
C
D
We
have
the
first
Civil
Rights
Act,
and
this
was
the
act
that
declared
all
persons
born
in
the
United
States
to
be
citizens
without
regard
to
their
race,
color
or
previous
conditions
of
servitude
that
was
enacted
by
the
39th
Congress
Over
The
veto
of
Andrew
Johnson
in
1968,
the
Fair
Housing
Act,
was
enacted
by
the
federal
Congress
that
act
prevented
discrimination
in
housing
based
on
race,
color
or
religion.
D
Over
the
years
it
has
been
amended
and
it's
called
the
fair
housing
amendments
act
and
has
had
added
a
number
of
protected
categories,
including
sex,
including
a
familial
status
and
disability.
D
C
D
Familial
status
provides
protections
for
families
who
have
minor
children,
including
single
parent
families,
grandparents
and
legal
Guardians
California
adds
a
number
of
additional
protections
for
marital
status,
sexual
orientation,
ancestry,
source
of
income,
gender
identity
or
expression,
veterans
and
Military
status,
and
under
the
unrul
ACT
there's
protections
for
immigration
status,
primary
language,
citizenship,
arbitrary
characteristics
which
include
such
things
as
age,
occupation,
things
like
the
color
of
your
hair
or
how
many
tattoos
you
have.
C
D
The
types
of
housing
that
are
covered
by
the
fair
housing
laws
include
what
is
called
a
dwelling
unit.
It's
an
apartment
or
a
unit,
that's
occupied
or
designed
as
a
residence.
D
C
D
Who
are
responsible
parties,
parties
that
become
responsible
or
legally
liable
under
the
laws
or
discrimination
in
housing,
include
Property
Owners
property
managers,
maintenance
and
administrative
staff,
real

agents
and
Brokers
lenders,
insurers
and
appraisers
homeowner
condominium
associations,
property
management,
companies,
Architects
Builders
developers
and
Engineers
municipalities.
C
C
C
C
C
D
D
These
cover
most
housing
issues,
Section
504,
the
real
Rehabilitation
Act
of
1973,
covers
federally
funded
housing.
It's
a
federally
funded
housing
has
its
own
set
of
rules
that
apply
to
it.
D
C
D
Definition
of
disability
for
protection
of
disabled
people,
we
need
to
know
the
definition
of
disability
under
the
federal
law.
It
includes
the
following
three
elements
of
physical
or
mental
impairment,
which
substantially
limits
one
or
more
major
life
activities.
D
The
state
law
is
very
similar,
but
it
is
a
little
less
requires
a
little
less
showing
in
that
it
requires
a
physical
or
mental
impairment
which
limits
one
or
more
major
life
activities.
D
The
definition
of
disability
includes
physical
or
mental
dis
impairment.
This
can
be
physiological
disorder,
a
contagious
disease,
a
cosmetic
disfigurement
and
animal
loss,
a
mental
retardation,
emotional
or
mental
illness,
specific
learning,
disabilities,
alcoholism
or
substance
abuse,
with
the
exception
that
the
Fair
Housing
Act
does
not
provide
protection
for
those
who
are
currently
addicted
to
controlled
substances.
C
C
D
Both
the
federal
and
California
law
makes
available
reasonable
accommodations
for
disabled
persons.
The
definition
of
a
reasonable
accommodation
is
a
change
in
a
housing,
provider's
rules,
policies,
practices
or
services
that
is
necessary
to
afford
a
person
with
a
disability
equal
opportunity
to
use
and
enjoy
a
dwelling.
A
D
Reasonable
modifications
often
deal
with
accessibility
going
on
to
the
next
slide,
reasonable
accommodation
examples.
D
Examples
are
an
extension
of
time
to
move
out
during
an
eviction
process,
creating
a
reserved
parking
space
for
a
tenant
with
a
Mobility
impairment
who
needs
to
park
closer
to
her
dwelling
unit.
Other
examples
include.
D
An
emotional
support
animal
when
there
is
no
pet
policy
and
the
person
needs
that
animal
for
comfort
and
support
of
a
disability,
an
accommodation
might
be
asking
for
help
to
complete
an
application
or
other
paperwork
necessary
to
apply
for
a
unit
asking
for
the
housing
provider
to
move
the
date
when
a
rent
payment
is
due,
because
a
check
from
Social
Security
comes
in
later
than
the
date
normally.
The
rents
are
due.
D
C
B
Again,
if
you
have
questions
you
can
type
them
in
the
Q,
a
box
or
the
chat
box,
or
if
you
prefer
to
ask
your
questions
verbally,
you
can
raise
your
hand
or,
if
you're,
on
the
phone
dial,
Star
nine.
C
C
D
If
you
need
a
reasonable
accommodation
as
a
tenant,
you
have
a
burden
of
doing
certain
things
to
make
that
known
to
the
property
management.
You
need
to
make
an
initial
request
for
accommodation
or
modification.
D
D
The
housing
provider
will
determine
whether
the
request
for
an
accommodation
or
modification
is
reasonable
to
do
that.
The
provider
needs
to
look
at
whether
it's
an
undue
financial
burden
to
the
housing
provider,
the
cost
benefit
analysis,
the
cost
of
the
accommodation
to
a
specific
housing
provider
against
the
benefit
incurred
by
the
tenant.
D
The
accommodations,
the
health
scene
provider
pays
the
modifications
in
federally
funded
housing.
The
mod
of
the
housing
provider
pays
for
the
modification
in
private
housing.
The
housing
provider
does
not
have
to
pay
for
the
modification,
but
the
tenant,
May
modifications,
depending
on
federally
funded
or
privately
funded
housing,
varies
on
who's
going
to
pay.
D
C
D
Foreign
housing
provider
can
require
work
done
in
work,
women
like
manner
so
what
we're
discussing
here
is
if
a
reasonable
modification
to
a
unit
is
permitted
or
granted.
Then
what
can
the
housing
provider
request
the
housing
provider
if
they
are
not
providing
the
work
themselves,
which
they
would
do
if
it
was
a
federally
funded
housing,
but
otherwise
the
tenant
would
be
responsible
for
making
the
modification
the
housing
provider
can
require
that
the
work
is
done
in
the
work
men
like
manner
professional
manner.
D
The
housing
provider
can
require
restoration
to
the
original
condition
when
the
tenant
vacates,
but
only
if
the
medication
is
interior,
not
in
the
common
areas
and
interferes
with
the
enjoyment
of
future
tenants.
C
B
B
C
C
D
A
common
issue
that
arises
with
reasonable
accommodations
is
the
question
of
assistance
to
animals
or
emotional
sport.
Animals
service
animals
are
defined
under
the
Ada,
is
either
a
dog
or
a
miniature
pony
that
has
been
specifically
trained
to
do
a
specific
task.
D
C
C
D
D
D
Does
not
need
to
be
specifically
trained
does
not
need
to
do
a
specific
task.
It
provides
emotional
support.
D
D
Some
of
the
best
practices
for
housing
providers
include
if
a
connection
between
disability
and
a
request
is
not
clear.
The
housing
provider
can
request
clarification
and
can
request
verification
from
analogy
knowledgeable.
Third-Party
of
both
the
disability
and
the
need
for
the
accommodation.
D
The
housing
provider
can
determine
whether
granting
the
request
will
entail
incurring
undue
burden
or
a
fundal
fundamental
alteration
of
the
provider's
services.
If
there
is
no
undue
burden
or
fundamental
alteration,
the
housing
provider
should
provide
a
written
response,
explaining
that
the
request
is
granted.
C
D
Act
has
various
construction
requirements
for
disability,
accessibilities,
multiple
family,
housing
of
four
or
more
units
built
for
the
first
occupancy
after
March
1991
must
be
built
with
an
elevator.
A
D
Units
must
comply
if
there
is
no
elevator
all
ground
floor
units
must
comply
with
accessibility
requirements.
C
A
C
C
D
Housing
providers,

fair
housing
policies,
so
these
are
policies
best
practice.
Policies

responding
to
your
tenants
requests.
C
D
Oh

and
procedures,
we
advise
property
owners
and
managers
to

and
procedures

and
make
sure
that
all
tenants
have
those
policies
