ADVERTISEMENTS

The Southern California Housing Rights Center and the Disability Rights Legal Center have filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority over what they say are discriminatory practices toward homeless people who rely on service dogs.

According to the lawsuit, about 20% of L.A.'s homeless residents have a physical disability. More still have emotional or substance abuse issues, and while only two individuals are plaintiffs in the case, the suit alleges that many more use service animals either for physical assistance or emotional support.  Discriminating against those who depend on service animals, it continues, violates both the Americans With Disabilities Act and fair housing laws.
