Reasonable Accommodation
Applicants and residents may request a reasonable accommodation or reasonable modification. See the HUD website for more information on these topics.
A reasonable accommodation is a change, exception, or adjustment to a rule, policy, practice, or service that may be necessary for a person with disabilities to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, including public and common use spaces, or to fulfill their program obligations.
Under the Fair Housing Act, a reasonable modification is a structural change made to existing premises, occupied or to be occupied by a person with a disability, in order to afford such person full enjoyment of the premises. Under Section 504, a housing provider is required to provide and pay for the structural modification as a reasonable accommodation unless it amounts to an undue financial and administrative burden or a fundamental alteration of the program.
A request for reasonable accommodation or reasonable modification may be made to our Reasonable Accommodation Coordinator (RAC), currently our property manager, via form available from the RAC or the RAC may assist an applicant or tenant in filling out a form. Contact the Einstein Center (contact information below) to reach the RAC or for a copy of the grievance procedure.
