Access Denied: Housing Accessibility for People with Physical Disabilities in the Greater New Orleans Rental Housing Market
Posted on 16. Sep, 2009 by Hannah Adams
Despite the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968 and the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center’s (GNOFHAC) Access Denied 2009 audit report demonstrates that as of April 15, 2009, the greater New Orleans area has not achieved equal housing opportunity for people with physical disabilities. Access Denied documents, describes, and quantifies accessibility barriers which amount to discrimination against people with disabilities in rental housing.
