Notice Informing Individuals About Nondiscrimination, Reasonable Accommodation and Accessibility Requirements

 

 

Non-Discrimination Statement for Village Housing Development Fund Corporation

Village Housing Development Fund Corporation does not discriminate against any person on basis of race, color, national origin, religion/creed, sex, disability (including the use of a wheelchair), marital or partnership status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, source of income, immigration status, lawful occupation, status as a victim of domestic violence, or military status.

Reasonable Accommodation Policy and Request Form

Village Care at 46 and Ten is committed to providing equal housing opportunity. As part of this commitment, we will modify our rules, policies, practices, and services to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities upon request if the accommodation is reasonable and necessary to allow you to fully use and enjoy residing in our community.


It is our policy to reject reasonable accommodation requests only when they are not related to a disability-based need, impose an undue financial and administrative burden, or fundamentally alter the nature of the services we provide. In such case, we will discuss reasonable alternatives that may meet the requesting individual’s needs. We will bear any incidental costs of providing a reasonable accommodation.

  • Procedure for Making Request

Requests for reasonable accommodation may be submitted in writing. If you need a reasonable accommodation due to a disability, we encourage you to submit the Reasonable Accommodation Request form below. The request need not be in writing to be considered by us. Nor must it be made using the below form to be considered a valid request for a reasonable accommodation.

If you are making a written reasonable accommodation request to us, fully describe the required accommodation on the Reasonable Accommodation Request form.

Please include any additional information that you believe would be useful in assisting us to evaluate the request.

  • Verification and Documentation

If your disability or disability-related need is not obvious, we may request that you provide verification that you have a disability-related need for the requested accommodation. If you are an applicant for admission and your disability-related need is documented in your medical evaluation or nursing assessment, we will let you know if we require further documentation.

  • Providing Disability-Related Accommodations

We will discuss your request for a reasonable accommodation with you. If the accommodation is approved, we will provide a letter explaining how and when the

accommodation can be provided.


If a specific accommodation cannot be made because it is an undue financial and administrative burden or because it would be a fundamental alteration of the services provided by us, then we will discuss alternative accommodations that may address your disability-related need. If no alternative meets your disability-related needs, or if you and Village Care at 46 and Ten cannot agree on a reasonable alternative, we will notify you of the denial in writing in a reasonable amount of time and will provide an opportunity for you to make a revised reasonable accommodation request. If your request is part of your application for admission, we will address it in writing as part of our application denial.
