There’s no place like home. Until there’s no place to call home.
Everyone should have the same chance to live in a home that is safe and affordable. For some people with disabilities, finding a place to live can be harder because of discrimination.
April is Fair Housing Month. Take time to learn more about your rights under the Americans with Disabilities and Fair Housing Acts. Landlords should also make sure they know the law and are open to all tenants. Let’s work to make sure everyone has a place to call home.
If you are facing housing discrimination, use our new housing discrimination complaint tool that will help you create a document to submit to HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development).
Accepting and valuing people with autism
In the U.S., one in 36 children and one in 45 adults are autistic. It’s likely you know a person with autism.
People with autism have strengths and talents just like anyone else. They might see, hear, and feel things differently, and that's okay. Acceptance means supporting them to be themselves without judgment. It's about creating a world where everyone belongs, no matter their differences.
During Autism Acceptance Month in April, commit to doing your part to create a community that accepts and values neurodiversity. To get started, visit the Autism Acceptance website.
Are you ready?
People with disabilities are often more seriously affected by disasters like floods, hurricanes, fires, health emergencies, and more. Help us understand what you need to be ready when these events happen by filling out our disaster resilience survey.
