Reasonable accommodations (RAs) are essential protections that help people with disabilities access and maintain stable housing. Many housing barriers don't stem from noncompliance, but instead from policies or environments that do not account for disability-related needs. By allowing necessary flexibility, RAs ensure individuals can safely and successfully remain housed.

Grounded in federal and state law, these protections help prevent unnecessary housing loss, reduce crises, and promote equitable access. Equal treatment does not always mean identical treatment—sometimes a policy adjustment is required to provide meaningful access.

We recognize that the RA process can be complex and situation-specific, so we have developed a Reasonable Accommodation Support Tip Sheet and accompanying landing page to provide clear, practical guidance.

The tip sheet provides an action-oriented framework, guiding case managers through identifying needs, preparing documentation, submitting requests, following up, and more. Designed as both a reference and workflow tool, it promotes effective advocacy to help participants maintain stable housing.

We hope these resources are helpful to you and we look forward to your feedback!
