You need to contact RI Legal Services or RI Fair Housing.
It is illegal to discriminate against disabled persons - it is not clear to me whether raising your rent in an effort to get you to move would be considered discrimination (but it sounds like it may be - I am a lawyer but this is a bit out of my area). Also, be aware that it takes quite a while to evict someone; in terms of signing a lease, there are rules in RI in terms of how long in advance you were given notice of the rent increase (I think in RI it is at least 30 days on a year lease and maybe more if the prior lease says so).
You have my email, feel free to drop me a note -
hang in. I am so sorry you are dealing with this on top of everything else.
