Reasonable Accommodations in Housing Workshop
Tenants with disabilities have strong housing rights and there are specific rules that housing providers must follow to accommodate them. Join us to learn about your right to ask for a “reasonable accommodation” or “reasonable modification” – adjustments to rules, policies, services, and even the physical layout of your home to make it more accessible for you. We will review best practices, discuss potential costs, and go over what to expect once you have made your requests.
