HOUSING DISCRIMINATION AND SOURCE OF INCOME: A TENANT'S LOSING BATTLE |
32 Indiana Law Review 457 (1999) |
Many believe that housing discrimination is a past wrong that is now corrected by the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Nothing could be further from the truth. Housing discrimination against the poor is still permissible in many realms under current law. The poor in this country often cannot obtain adequate housing and can be forced to move their families... |

33 Valparaiso University Law Review 581 (Spring, 1999) |
The biggest obstacle for people with disabilities [is] not so much what God hath wrought, but rather what man has imposed by custom and law. While laws that affect the disabled have progressed from isolation to empowerment, vague areas exist that result in litigation and, ultimately, a step back in the disabled's journey toward independence. One of... |
