No I'm not asking for legal advice, I'm more asking like where to start and what benefits it might offer my roommate.
Brownie is an awesome friendly dog, and I think he deserves the badge of emotional support animal. Question is, where to start?

Oh it's not exactly a dire financial struggle, hell one big bag of dog food for him costs something like $8 a bag, and might last upwards of 2 months. And yes he has a dedicated airtight container to keep the food fresh.
Just looking and talking around to see what all, if any options he might have with his new health insurance provider to try to save a few dollars here and there.
Best I've gathered so far from comments here, I've already advised him to just talk to his doctors and perhaps his case manager next time he's got an appointment.
Wow only $8?? Last time I noticed dog food prices a few years ago, a bag that big would cost $50.
My roommate can't remember off the top of his head what brand of food it was, but he'll recognize it the next time he sees it in the store. It's just basically plain small dry kibble, we give it to him mixed about 50/50 with water once a day.
He keeps the food in a repurposed 5 gallon ice/water cooler, minus the ice or water, to keep it fresh. A fresh bag fills that up about 80℅, so basically ~4 gallons of dry kibble, for ~$8 ain't bad huh?
