Susan,
    this regulation will not, in any way, affect housing issues. The ADA 
deals strictly with employment, public entities, and private entities that 
provide public accommodations. Housing is governed by the fair Housing Act 
(FHA) and is not impacted by this proposed change.

Fraternally,
Marion
