It is important to know that the law still exists for assistance animals in housing.  What HUD has rescinded is the guidance document in how those reasonable accommodation request are handled.

FHEO 20 20 –01  has helped many overcome or eliminate completely barriers to accessing housing whether it was a rental or a homeowners association.

 stay tuned.  we are drafting talking points that individuals can use to tell the HUD director and Congress why FHEO-2020-01 is important to service dog handlers.
