Ready to Work

On March 17, 2022, the United States executed a settlement agreement with Ready to Work, a not-for-profit residential, work, and social services program for individuals who are homeless.  The agreement resolves a complaint under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that Ready to Work discriminated against an individual with opioid use disorder (OUD) by denying her admission to its residential, work, and social services program because she uses a prescribed medication to treat her OUD.  The agreement requires Ready to Work to adopt non-discrimination policies, train staff on its non-discrimination obligations, and report on compliance. Ready to Work will also pay $7,500 in damages to the complainant.
