Dr. Adams, a tenured Associate Professor who uses a wheelchair accessible van because she is a paraplegic, brought her claims under the Fair Housing Act after Defendants failed to accommodate Dr. Adams’s request for an assigned accessible parking space in the garage of her home, the Aqua towers in Long Beach, California, which caused her to feel trapped in her home and resulted in extreme mental, physical, and emotional distress. , 2024
