Are you interested in a training on people with disabilities and animals in domestic violence shelters ?

Do you want to save $55,000?

I have prepared a PowerPoint addressing the rights of people with disabilities seeking to enter a domestic violence shelter accompanied by a service dog or an emotional support animal. Do you know the difference?

Do you know the law? Are you aware that the ADA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Fair housing Act all apply to domestic violence shelters?

Do you know when documentation is allowed, and when asking for documentation could end up costing you as much as $55,000 the first time you make the mistake, and up to $110,000 the second time you do it?

Do you want to avoid putting all of your federal funding at risk?

Do you want to avoid discriminating on the basis of disability?

Contact me at mdubin@pobox.com and set up a training.I'll gladly email you the PowerPoint and answer your questions. Include your name and phone number.

Think of this as litigation avoidance, or an early warning system.
