What are the 1988 Fair Housing Amendments?

These amendments give disabled persons (alcoholics and recovering addicts) the right to live together as a family of unrelated persons in any dwelling that would accommodate an equal number of related family members. Sober living houses can counter a local government request for special use zoning compliance or conditional use permits as long as the house operates as shared housing for persons with disabilities. Similar fair-housing rights exist for senior citizens, as well as for mentally, physically and developmentally disabled persons.
