Course Description
This course will focus on hot topics concerning the fair housing rights of people with disabilities that can confound housing providers. It will utilize hypothetical scenarios to address the following questions: How does the current pandemic/COVID-19 implicate fair housing rights? What are the distinct rights of housing choice voucher holders with disabilities? Under the new Cook County (IL) ordinance that prohibits housing providers from automatically denying applicants with a criminal history, what are the rights of people with disabilities with a criminal background?
Learning objectives:
- What, if any, fair housing protections exist for housing applicants or residents who have, or had, COVID-19?
- What unique rights exist for people with disabilities who hold housing choice vouchers?
- How does the new Cook County ordinance that prohibits housing discrimination against people with a criminal history impact people with disabilities with a criminal history?
