Lunch & Learn with the virginia Fair Housing Office

An assistance animal is an animal that works, provides assistance, or performs tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability, or that provides emotional support and companionship. Over the years physicians and psychologists have witnessed the effect of animals on individuals dealing with disabilities. We have seen in the hospitals where dogs and horses are often brought into patient's rooms to offer them comfort and distraction from all those procedures they endure The animal bring them a chance to focus on something else. If they are so great in the hospital, can you imagine the fulltime benefits at home?

For many of our soldiers returning from the war,...many dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injury, dogs especially, brings them calm, ease to those never-ending nightmares and visions of the horrors they witnessed. For young kids wanting to have as close to a normal childhood as possible, that diabetes detection dog is their gateway to that normalcy.

Sara Pratt, Counsel at Relman Coalfax a Civil Rights Law Firm in DC, has had the distinguish honor of serving in two separate administrations as the Director of FHEO at HUD.
