Reasonable Accommodation Policy: Any applicant with a disability has an opportunity to request a reasonable accommodation at any time. MWHS will provide auxiliary aids and reasonable accommodation as required for effective communication and participation in its programs.
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
It is Metro West Housing Solutions' policy to provide “reasonable accommodation” in housing for applicants, residents, and clients with disabilities who are otherwise qualified for MWHS’ services. This policy is in furtherance of MWHS’ goal of providing affordable housing to low-income persons regardless of disability and in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local law.
A person with a disability is one who (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as caring for one’s self, doing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, breathing, learning and working; (2) has a record of such an impairment; or (3) is regarded by others as having such an impairment.
A “reasonable accommodation” is a modification or change the MWHS can make to its procedures and rules, or to the person’s apartment or to a public/common area where such is necessary to provide a person with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from MWHS housing, aid, benefits, programs or services.
A reasonable accommodation may also include provision of an appropriate auxiliary aid where such assistance is necessary to enable effective communication between the applicant or resident/client and MWHS.
If you or a member of your household have a disability and think you need a reasonable accommodation, you may request it in writing at any time during the application process or after admission. This is up to you. If you would prefer not to discuss your situation with MWHS, and not request a reasonable accommodation, that is your right.
You may obtain a Request for Reasonable Accommodation form from MWHS at:
575 Union Blvd, Suite 100
Lakewood, CO 80228
Or you may request that one be sent to you by contacting:
Telephone: (303) 987-7580

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF COMMUNICATION
If you have a disability and require an alternative form of communication including, but not limited to, sign-language interpreter, or assistance completing forms, you may make your request at any time during the application process or after admission. Please complete the “Request for an Alternative Form of Communication” to request the alternative form of communication. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER.
