Webinar, May 3rd, 2023, with the Massachusetts Office on Disability (MOD). If you can’t equally enjoy your housing because of a disability-related obstacle, what do you do? Join an interactive virtual workshop on the reasonable accommodation and modification request process in housing.
* This workshop provides information and examples to help you understand the process from start to finish and tips to avoid common pitfalls.
* This workshop is designed for residents with disabilities (or their advocates), whether they live in rented accommodation or are owners in a housing/condo association.
Discuss:

– What scenarios are RA/RM requests suited for?
– How to draft an RA/RM request.
– What medical information is necessary to disclose?
