The Housing Authority of the County of Riverside complies with all laws and implementing regulations which provide for non-discrimination and accessibility in Federally funded housing and non-housing programs for people with disabilities. This includes Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Fair Housing Act of 1988. Available to the public is The Accessibility Notice.

If you are a person with a disability and require any special accommodation due to your disability, please let an employee of the Housing Authority know what accommodations you require. The application for the Section 8 and Public Housing programs asks if any special accommodation is needed by any disabled member of the household. Please complete this section if applicable. It is the intention of this agency to take actions to make the housing assistance programs or any non-housing program accessible to those with disabilities unless those actions would result in an undue burden. If you have any questions about this policy you may ask to speak with the supervisor of your Housing Specialist or you may inquire in writing.

Requesting a Reasonable Accommodation

The Housing Authority is committed to ensuring equal access to housing programs for individuals with disabilities. If you require a reasonable accommodation in order to fully participate in our programs or services, you may submit a request by completing the Reasonable Accommodation Form and providing it to your assigned worker.

Your request should include a letter from a qualified medical provider or professional supporting the need for the accommodation. The Housing Authority will review all requests in accordance with the Fair Housing Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

For more information about Section 8 and the disabled, we have a Guide book that was written for that purpose. Guide book for Section 8 and disabled.
