DC KinCare Alliance, represented by Wiley Rein LLP, filed a federal lawsuit this week in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the DC Housing Authority for discriminating against kinship caregivers by violating the federal Fair Housing Act, the District of Columbia Human Rights Act, and the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.

DC KinCare Alliance works to support relative caregivers who raise DC’s most vulnerable and at-risk children whose parents are not able to care for them for reasons including: death, incarceration, homelessness, substance use or mental health disorders, abuse or neglect, detainment or deportation. We empower relatives to care for these children by providing legal representation, education, and advocacy for the whole family.
