Public Housing Accessibility

Meeting the Challenge has developed proprietary checklists and reports to perform self-evaluation and transition plans for public housing authorities (PHA). These reports address the policies and procedures of PHAs, as well as the physical accessibility of the facility. Federally funded PHAs are required, under Section 504 of the Rehab Act of 1973, as amended, to ensure that their programs and facilities do not discriminate against persons with disabilities. MTC began developing these services in early 2006 and performed ten self-evaluations for PHAs in 2006 and 2007.

Ft. Morgan CO Hillcrest Apartments
MTC performed a self-evaluation for the Housing Authority of Ft Morgan, Colorado in August 2006. We used our previously developed Section 504 self-evaluation checklists and performed an on-site assessment of the Hillcrest Apartments. The physical accessibility observations became the basis for the Transition Plan, including recommended changes.

Brush CO Centennial West
MTC performed a self-evaluation process for the Housing Authority of Brush, Colorado in September 2006. We used our previously developed Section 504 self-evaluation checklists and performed an on-site assessment of the Centennial West facility. The physical accessibility observations became the basis for the Transition Plan.
