New Report Calls for Action to Increase Pet-Inclusive Housing
The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) has released the Pet-Inclusive Housing Report, aimed at identifying solutions and equipping stakeholders with tools to expand pet-inclusive housing. The report stems from HABRI's Spring Policy Forum, which brought together experts in housing policy, animal welfare, and human social services to develop a roadmap for increasing access to such housing. The report highlights various legislative initiatives across the U.S. and internationally that have successfully addressed barriers like leasing transparency, pet deposit assistance programs, and breed restrictions on pets. It also announces the formation of the Pets and Families Housing Coalition, which aims to promote practical policies at multiple levels of government. HABRI emphasizes collaboration as essential for achieving widespread change in housing accessibility. The report was supported by several organizations including APPA, AVMA, Mars, PetSmart Charities, and Zoetis.
