           Within the population of low-income Washingtonians, Black, Indigenous, and other
people of color and people with disabilities experience legal problems with rental housing at
disproportionately high rates. 2015 WASHINGTON STATE CIVIL LEGAL NEEDS STUDY UPDATE,
supra, at 10 (“While fewer than one-third (27.8%) of all low-income households suffer at least one
problem with rental housing, 42.9% of Native American households, 41.5% of African-American
households, and 37.8% of households that include a person with a disability have rental housing
problems.”). These issues will be exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, which has increased these
disparities and will likely have impacts on housing into the future.
