This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C discusses a new Rhode Island law that prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of homelessness. Specifically, employers will be prohibited from discriminating against job applicants or employees who lack a permanent mailing address or use a shelter or agency as a mailing address. The law provides injunctive relief, actual damages and reasonable attorneys' fees to homeless job applicants or employees who experience this form of discrimination.
