Section 3617, however, prohibits interference with the housing rights of the mentally disabled. See 24 C.F.R. § 100.400(c)(3) (stating that § 3617 prohibits the dismissal of an employee based on the employee's effort to provide rental housing to a person with a handicap); see also 42 U.S.C. § 3617 (prohibiting interference with efforts to assist others in enjoying rights established under § 3604); 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f) (prohibiting discrimination based on renter's handicap); 42 U.S.C. § 3602(h)(1),(3) (defining handicapped person as person with substantially limiting mental impairment or person regarded as such). Because Moran did not dispute that Gonzalez resisted Moran's orders to "skip" individuals on the housing waiting list, Moran's admission that she ordered Gonzalez to skip an individual based on that person's mental condition tends to support, rather than refute, Gonzalez's claim that Moran fired her "in retaliation of her complaints and refusal to participate in the discriminatory rental practices of the Defendants." R1-15, Amended Complaint, p 30, at 7-8.
