About the Workshop:

Tenants with disabilities have strong rights when it comes to their housing and what a housing provider is supposed to provide.

Join us to learn about your rights when it comes to asking for a “reasonable accommodation” or “reasonable modification” – which are adjustments to rules, policies, services, and even the physical layout of your home to make it more accessible for you. We'll walk you through the best practices, discuss any potential costs, and give you a heads-up on what to expect once you've made your requests.

QUESTIONS: If you still have questions after the workshop, you'll get a chance to chat with our Housing Stability Project team member in a private 15-minute consultation. If you need more in-depth support, we can set you up with a separate appointment.
