[nagdu] Housing and Dog guides

[Julie J.]

William and Lora,

The Fair Housing Act is Federal and covers all states.  It is very clear 
that people with disabilities must be accommodated in all housing situations 
with very few exceptions.  Please check out the FHA FAQ sheet that was 
recently discussed on this list.

I absolutely would not discuss a guide dog before actually acquiring a dog.

Julie
