Reasonable Accommodations

The Community Partnership's Non Discrimination Statement

Non-Discrimination Statement

The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness (TCP) complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (as amended by the Community Development Act of 1974 and the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988), Executive Order 110063, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The ADA and Section 504 both stipulate that "no otherwise qualified persons with disabilities...shall, solely by reason of his or her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance (Section 504) or any activities of "public entities," of state or local governments, regardless of whether they receive federal funding (Title II of the ADA). The Fair Housing Amendments Act regulations state "It shall be unlawful for any person to refuse to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling unit including public and private use areas."

The Community Partnership's Reasonable Accommodation
Policy & Procedure

The requirement to provide reasonable accommodation is intended to provide, for persons with disabilities, equal opportunity to participate in programs through modification of policies, procedures, or structures. This policy is not intended to provide greater program benefits to persons with disabilities than to non-disabled residents or applicants. It may mean, however, that persons with disabilities will sometimes be treated differently, in order to ensure equal access to programs and services. Equal access to programs and services is referred to as "Program Access" in both Section 504 and ADA.

The Reasonable Accommodation Policy & Manual must be followed by all contractors of the Community Partnership. A copy of the full manual is below. All of the Procedural forms that may be used in this document are available from pages 14-22.
