[nagdu] Fair Housing

[Steven Johnson]

Lynn, Housing is not covered under ADA, but rather under the Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988.  I don't know if you saw the info I had sent out
last night on this, but it was fairly detailed.

Jeff,
I don't think the housing can ask for a letter.  The ADA is quite clear 
about this and housing is covered under ADA.  Correct me if I'm wrong, 
marion! LOL!
