TENANT RIGHT TO REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR PERSON WITH DISABILITIES

The New York State Human Rights Law requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations or modifications to a building/living space to meet the needs of people with disabilities. If you have a physical, mental, or medical impairment, you can ask your housing provider to make the common areas of your building accessible, or to change certain policies to meet your needs. To request a reasonable accommodation, you should contact your site manager after your offered tenancy. A housing provider may request medical information, when necessary, to support that there is a covered disability and that the need for the accommodation is disability related.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider and employer. If you wish to file a Civil Rights program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, found online at http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, or at any USDA office, or call (866) 632-9992 to request the form. You may also write a letter containing all of the information requested in the form.
