NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION

It is the Lakewood housing Authority’s (LHA) policy to provide “reasonable accommodation” in housing for applicants, residents, and clients with disabilities who are otherwise qualified for LHA’s services.  This policy is in furtherance of LHA’s goal of providing affordable housing to low-income persons regardless of disability and in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local law.

A person with a disability is one who (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as caring for one’s self, doing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, breathing, learning and working; (2) has a record of such an impairment; or (3) is regarded by others as having such an impairment.

A “reasonable accommodation” is a modification or change the LHA can make to its procedures and rules, or to the person’s apartment or to a public/common area where such is necessary to provide a person with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from LHA housing, aid, benefits, programs or services.

A reasonable accommodation may also include provision of an appropriate auxiliary aid where such assistance is necessary to enable effective communication between the applicant or resident/client and LHA.

If you or a member of your household have a disability and think you need a reasonable accommodation, you may request it in writing at any time during the application process or after admission.  This is up to you.  If you would prefer not to discuss your situation with LHA, and not request a reasonable accommodation, that is your right.

You may obtain a Request for Reasonable Accommodation form from LHA at:
                                                      480 South Allison Parkway
                                                      Lakewood, CO 80226

Or you may request that one be sent to you by contacting:
                                                      Telephone:                    (303) 987-7580
                                                      TDD:                            (303) 987-7599
                                                      Colorado Relay TDD:   (800) 659-2656

If you have questions or problems, please contact the 504 Coordinator, Sabrina Pierre-Louis, at the address and phone numbers listed above.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF COMMUNICATION

If you have a disability and require an alternative form of communication including, but not limited to, sign-language interpreter, or assistance completing forms, you may make your request at any time during the application process or after admission.  Please complete the “Request for an Alternative Form of Communication” to request the alternative form of communication.  THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER.
