- holding that FHA \ 'failure to accommodate' claims do not require proof of intentional discrimination\
- holding that homeless shelter was a public accommodation under D.C. Code
- stating that where the DCHRA language parallels analogous provisions of the FHA, the “section of the DCHRA and the FHA should be interpreted in a parallel fashion”

- \The Court agrees and concludes that the same rationale prevents [several other discrimination statutes] from serving as the basis of a negligence per se claim[.]\
