MHPG Community Conversations: Understanding the Impacts on Disability, Housing, and Justice of the July Executive Order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets”
Our Mental Health Practice Group (MHPG) presents community conversations, a webinar series presenting topics through the lens of lived experience with a mental health disability.
Together, we will explore how the Executive Order "Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets" may impact Californians with disabilities, and marginalized communities living unhoused.
Habitability and the Right to Safe Living Conditions
Have you had a repair or pest issue that a landlord just would not fix? This virtual workshop will share red flags, best practices, and options for addressing an unsafe living environment while protecting your housing. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a one-on-one consultation.
Know Your Rights: Support Animals in Housing
Assistance animals are wonderful helpers and companions for people with disabilities, but the process of keeping one in your home can be stressful. Join DRC’s Equal Access and Housing Practice Group as we discuss Californians’ rights to have assistance animals in their homes because of their disabilities.
Eviction Notices in California
Are you a renter with a disability in California and have questions about evictions? Learn about your rights in this workshop, which will cover eviction notice requirements, what to do if you receive an eviction notice, and tips for resolving or even preventing these issues.
Reasonable Accommodations in Housing Workshop
Tenants with disabilities have strong housing rights and there are specific rules that housing providers must follow to accommodate them. Join us to learn about your right to ask for a “reasonable accommodation” or “reasonable modification” – adjustments to rules, policies, services, and even the physical layout of your home to make it more accessible for you. We will review best practices, discuss potential costs, and go over what to expect once you have made your requests.
