The document discusses the legal protections for homeless individuals with disabilities under federal civil rights laws including the Rehabilitation Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Fair Housing Act. It summarizes several key court cases that have found states in violation of these laws by unnecessarily segregating people with disabilities in institutions rather than providing community-based housing and services. The document also provides strategies that communities can use to overcome opposition to supportive housing projects and comply with their obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.

This presentation suggests that housing and homelessness are not just concerns for the city centre. It looks at how housing insecurity is deep and persisting; how poor housing effects people, communities, the economy and government; the diminishing federal investments in housing; and our lack of a comprehensive national plan.

Success in preventing homelessness and achieving rapid re-housing relies on developing and maintaining strong relationships with landlords. This workshop will discuss how to reach out and build working relationships with landlords, whether individuals or for-profit or not-for-profit entities. Consideration will be given to walking the fine line between acting as a liaison to landlords and being a consumer advocate when tenants have legal conflicts with property owners or requests for reasonable accommodations with property owners.

The Parental Rights Amendment, which contains wording to ensure that parental rights are protected for all, including those with a disability. Section 4 of the Amendment states, "The parental rights guaranteed by this article shall not be denied or abridged on account of disability."
Parenting with a Disability: Know Your Rights Toolkit, put together by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation and the National Council on Disability. We hope you find the information it contains helpful.
Since the inception of MFOFC 23 years ago, our organization has taken a stand on the issues affecting individuals and their families. Our work has created positive change in disability policy~pursuing policy driven budgets rather than budget driven policies. This powerpoint presentation addresses several laws that improve the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. ** Families need to understand the meaning of these laws and how they effect the life of their loved one with a disability.
