[blindLaw] Government website and forms

[rothmanjd at gmail.com]

Yes, in our role as a division of the National Federation of the Blind, we've worked on advocacy and legislation regarding accessibility of websites and information.  Many of us also submitted public comment on the Notices of Proposed Rule Making for the ADA Title II and Section 504 regulations just last year,  and as we see additional NPRMs coming down the pipeline we will provide feedback on them as well.

Has the organization with lawyer division considered adding extra pressure on government agencies in America to make their websites and forms accessible?
I ask because it’s disheartening in 2024 when a blind person needs to interact with a housing Authority, where anything is set up or pass down through HUD the documents and forms are paper form or offered in limited capacity in a non-accessible digital format if the housing Authority chooses to send those after scanning them.
