A Home that meet their needs

Reasonable accommodation

A determined grandmother and her teenage grandson, both living with disabilities, needed separate bedrooms to accommodate their individual health needs. Despite four previous attempts, the grandmother’s requests for reasonable accommodation through the public housing authority had been unsuccessful, leaving her feeling frustrated and unheard.

Seeking support, she turned to the Northwest Fair Housing Alliance (NWFHA). With compassion and expertise, NWFHA provided her with a sample verification letter for her healthcare provider, drafted a formal request for reasonable accommodation, and assisted her in compiling a complete and organized package of necessary documentation.

Thanks to this collaboration, her voice was finally heard — the accommodations were granted and the path toward a living space that supports both her and her grandson’s well-being became possible.
