About this template

This emotional support animal letter template uses a clean blue banner and a sans-serif layout that reads clearly on screen or in print. The clinician confirms the diagnosis and recommends the animal, and the letter supports a reasonable accommodation request under the Fair Housing Act.

Key Features:

Blue title banner: A soft blue band behind the heading keeps the design modern and easy to read.
License number line: The signature block includes a dedicated line for the clinician's license number.
Fair Housing framing: The body ties the recommendation to a disability as defined by the Fair Housing Act.
Simple to edit: Adjust the colors, logo, and body text without touching the layout.

Built around the diagnosis:

The letter leads with the clinical finding that the patient has a condition that substantially limits one or more major life activities. That framing is what connects the animal to a reasonable accommodation request.

Keeping the clinician verifiable:

The license number line and signature block let a housing provider confirm who wrote the letter. Pair the letter with a QR code so the recipient can check it against your verification page.

FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about this template.

What does an emotional support animal letter do?

It records that a licensed mental health professional recommends an emotional support animal as part of a patient's treatment. It is often used to request a reasonable accommodation in housing.

What is the Fair Housing Act?

In the United States, the Fair Housing Act requires most housing providers to consider reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities, which can include allowing an emotional support animal.

Why does the letter include a license number?

The license number helps a housing provider confirm that the writer is a licensed professional. It is a common detail that makes the letter easier to verify.

Can two people share one letter?

No. Each ESA letter is written for one patient and one treatment plan, so you should issue a separate letter for each person.
