Learn about research and policy efforts to create more pet inclusive housing and the impacts it could have on communities with Ross Barker.

Ross Barker is the Program Director for the Pet-Inclusive Housing Initiative (PIHI), a national effort to expand access to rental housing for people with pets. Based in Los Angeles, his work bridges data, policy, and industry collaboration to remove barriers that keep renters and their pets apart. We aim to make pet-inclusive housing the standard – not the exception – by aligning animal welfare with housing equity.
