We will also discuss how state and local law may have an impact on a sites obligation as well.
Morning Presentation:
What is the legal framework (statues, regulations, federal guidance) for reasonable accommodation/physical modification, what is a reasonable accommodation, what are the limits on providing an accommodation/modification, when can a housing provider deny a reasonable accommodation/modification, what must a housing provider do if a requested accommodation is denied, who can request an accommodation/modification and what can/cant a housing provider ask/verify when a request is made.
Afternoon Presentation:
We will explore how to analyze specific common requests for reasonable accommodations/modifications throughout the occupancy cycle including, but not limited to, assistance animals, live-in aides, physical modifications and transfers.
