DISABILITYSCOOP: Rental Market Unkind To Those With Developmental Disabilities

The report finds that people with disabilities are less likely than others to be told a housing unit is available. Discrimination in the rental housing market is being investigated. The findings suggest that broader efforts are needed to educate housing providers across the country about their obligations when dealing with those with disabilities.
