If you have a disability and as a result of your disability you need . . .
· a change in the rules or policies on how Housing and Community Development (HCD) does things that would give you an equal chance to live here and use the facilities or take part in programs or services on site,
· a change, repair, or special feature in a dwelling that would give you an equal chance to live in the dwelling and use the facilities at the dwelling site or take part in programs on site,
· a change, repair or special feature at some other area of a HCD building or property that would give you an equal chance to live here and use the facilities or take part in HCD programs,
· a change in the way HCD communicates with you or gives you information.
You may ask for this kind of change, which is called a REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION.
HCD will give you an answer within sixty (60) business days of HCD employee’s receipt of the acceptably completed Request and Verification Forms via the Approval/Denial of Reasonable Accommodation Request form.
HCD will let you know if additional information or verification is needed, or if there are other ways to meet your needs.
If HCD turns down your request, HCD will explain the reasons, and you can provide more information if you think that will help.
If you need help filling out a Reasonable Accommodation Request Form or if you want to give HCD your request in some other way, HCD will help you.
NOTE: To the greatest extent allowable by law, all information you provide will be kept confidential and be used only to help you have an equal opportunity to enjoy your housing and the common areas.
