AS HUD MOVES TO LIMIT ASSISTANCE ANIMAL POLICY ABUSE, NAR APPLAUDS COMMON SENSE REFORMS

摘要

National Association of Realtors (NAR) President Vince Malta issued the following statement after HUD unveiled new assistance animal policy guidance: "This law exists to protect millions of Americans with disabilities who rely on the support of their assistance animals—like those living with depression, military veterans suffering from PTSD and countless other deserving individuals. But as NAR has stressed to HUD over recent months, these protections are jeopardized when a small minority seeks to exploit weaknesses in the system. NAR applauds Secretary Carson for moving to stop this behavior, and we look forward to working with the department to further reinforce fair housing laws while protecting our members and the residents they serve."
