Plaintiffs have recently filed allegations of Fair Housing Act, American with Disabilities Act, and DC Human Rights Act violations. We are gathering evidence of RESIDENCE DISCRIMINATION against the poor and the handicapped. This involves the systematic removal of the homeless, the poor and the handicapped from downtown DC - systematically moving persons in need to the poorest, most violent parts of the city.
