504 Reasonable Accomodations

RRHA provides reasonable accommodations to applicants, residents, and participants with disabilities.

Federal law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (1973), is there to protect your rights and to help you identify a reasonable, effective, and appropriate accommodation. RRHA will fully bear the cost of all reasonable accommodations unless doing so would create an undue financial and administrative burden.

Do you have a disability?

A person with a disability refers to an individual
who has :

  1. A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity: caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, or working;
  2. Has a record of such impairment; or
  3. Is regarded as having such an impairment.

Request Reasonable Accommodations

Complete the 504 form if you are an individual with a disability and you require a reasonable accommodation to participate in any part of the application process.
