ABOUT THE EVENT

As the saying goes, “Better late than never”. On January 28,2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) released Notice FHEO-2020-01,

sometimes referred to as the “Assistance Animals Notice.” The Notice includes two attachments. The first, “Assessing a Person’s Request to Have an Animal as a Reasonable

Accommodation Under the Fair Housing Act,” recommends a set of best practices for complying with the Fair Housing Act (FHA) when assessing a person with a disability’s accommodation requests involving animals in housing.
