[nabs-l] Issues with Kurzweil and applying for housing

[Joe Orozco]

Can't the housing program itself provide someone to help fill out the
paperwork?  It's not an unreasonable request, and it's to their benefit to
get one more resident.  I guess I wouldn't see this as an accommodation as
much as a friendly gesture I would offer someone if I were sighted.

Many of housing forms dwaling with assisted living and programs 
for those needing special assistence require hand-written 
answers in a special ink or on a special paper given from the 
housing department.  Can a local group for the blind help you 
with filling out your papers?  Do they offer "reader services?" 
Hope this helps.
