Housing and Persons With Disabilities
As a person with a disability you have a right not to be discriminated against due to your disability when seeking housing to rent, lease or purchase. It is important for you to know the federal laws that provide for nondiscriminatory practices in housing, especially in public housing which is supported in full or part by federal funding.
This presentation, which is one chapter in the Disability Law Center of Alaska's "Your Mental Health Rights in Alaska" handbook, explains how these laws work.
