Housing
A place to call home
Safe, accessible, affordable housing — it’s the top request we get at Disability Justice. While we don’t provide housing, we offer information and advocacy about housing rights.
That includes the right to reasonable modifications; reasonable accommodations, including service and assistance animals; and the early termination of a lease. We aim to make it easier for Coloradans to find and keep a home, free from discrimination.
