Such <br /> information will be made available during the application interview,and all applicable Fair <br /> Housing Information and Discrimination Complaint Forms will be made part of the participant's <br /> information packet. <br /> Except as otherwise provided in 24 CFR 8.21(c)(1), 8.24(a), 8.25, and 8.31,no individual with <br /> disabilities will be denied the benefits of, be excluded from participation in, or otherwise be <br /> subjected to discrimination,because CHS's facilities are inaccessible to or unusable by persons <br /> with disabilities. <br /> Posters and housing information will be displayed in locations throughout the office of CHS, in <br /> such a manner as to be easily readable from a wheelchair. The residential management office of <br /> Everett is accessible to persons with disabilities. Accessibility for the hearing impaired is <br /> provided by TDD/TDY telephone numbers. <br /> CHS's policies and practices will be designed to provide assurances that all persons with <br /> disabilities will be provided reasonable accommodation so that they may fully access and utilize <br /> the housing program and related services. CHS will work with the resident and their CCS <br /> housing case manager to make reasonable accommodation. The availability of specific <br /> accommodations will be made known by including notices on CHS forms/letters to all <br /> individuals,and all requests will be verified so that CHS can properly accommodate the need <br /> presented by the disability. <br /> Requests for reasonable accommodation from persons with disabilities will be granted upon <br /> verification that they meet the need presented by the disability. Reasonable accommodation will <br /> be made for persons with a disability who require an advocate or accessible offices. A designee <br /> will be allowed to provide some information,but only with the permission of the person with the <br /> disability. <br /> Individuals claiming a disability or handicap who are not in receipt of Social Security Disability <br /> or Supplemental Security Income must submit a certification of the disability or handicap.
