Are you a person with disabilities that needs to make changes to your housing rules or to your home’s physical structures to make it more accessible? Please join us at this workshop to learn about your rights to do so.

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.

Interpretation will be provided if requested at least 1 week before the event date.

When: Tuesday, January 13th at 1pm PT

Have you had a repair or pest issue that a landlord just would not fix? This workshop will share red flags, best practices, and options for addressing an unsafe living environment while protecting your housing. We will discuss examples of habitability problems and what tenants can do to make sure the housing provider maintains the property and gives tenants a safe place to live.

After the webinar, you will have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a one-on-one consultation.

ASL and Spanish interpretation will be offered.

This event is only for tenants with disabilities, not landlords or home owners.
