NOTICE OF ACCOMMODATION
FOR RESIDENCES OF
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES


This is not a comprehensive explanation of your rights
under the Fair Housing Amendments Act.

In accordance with the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, the City of Philadelphia
does not discriminate on the basis of disability with respect to policies on housing or
license and permit issuance.
The definition of a person with a disability includes any person who has a physical or
mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. The
protection of the Fair Housing Amendments Act also extends to any person who has a
record of such an impairment, or any person who is regarded as having such an
impairment. It does not extend to people who are current illegal users of a controlled
substance.
Examples of some types of residences that may be protected by the Fair Housing
Amendments Act include:
        •       Community Residential Rehabilitation Centers
        •       Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers
        •       Community Living Arrangements
        •       Any Other Specially Situated Housing for People with Disabilities

If you own or operate, or propose to own or operate a residence for people with
disabilities, you may choose to invoke the protection of the Fair Housing Amendments
Act.
If you seek a reasonable accommodation from some or all of the applicable city codes or
policies, please complete the standard PERMIT FORM, read and sign the FAIR
HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT INFORMATION STATEMENT, and complete the
FAIR HOUSING ACCOMMODATION REQUEST FORM. Copies of these forms are
available at the front desk.
