Jordan:
If you would like to come to our tech talk today, we can maybe go over how to access Zoom from your phone. You can call Lynn with the phone number if it is easier.
Have a great day!

>>
>> Hello,
>>
>>
>>
>> We are getting down to the wire - after years of advocacy we finally have
>> a
>> chance to make affordable housing more accessible! Disability Rights
>> California has been advocating since 2012 to bring the state building code
>> into compliance with federal standards requiring accessible units for
>> people
>> with mobility and hearing/vision disabilities. If change doesn't happen
>> now
>> it may be years before we have another chance. Please join us in this
>> final
>> stretch. We know this is a tough time to ask for your help, but we
>> wouldn't
>> be reaching out if this wasn't important.
>>
>>
>>
>> A dozen organizations signed on to our February letter and provided
>> comments
>> at a meeting in Sacramento! Two state agencies have now approved Building
>> Code language making accessible units mandatory, but the Building
>> Standards
>> Commission will vote on the final adoption of critical building code
>> changes. This is the most critical time to act!
>>
>>
>>
>> The public comment period will be open until Monday, May 18, 2020.
>>
>>
>>
>> Please join us on a call on Tuesday, April 28 at 1:30pm to answer your
>> questions, discuss why this is important and ways you can help get the
>> word
>> out to the client community and others. Join Online:

>>
>>
>>
>> If you can find the time, please write a letter to the Buildings
>> Standards
>> Commission on your letterhead talking about your or your client
>> experiences
>> and why this is important. Submit it by email to the Commission by May
>> 18,
>> 2020. See Attachment A for a sample letter attached for you to
>> personalize.
>> It does not need to be long. It just needs to convey how accessible
>> affordable housing would benefit you and the communities you serve.
>>
>>
>>
>> We also ask you to please sign on to DRC's more technical letter. That
>> letter is attached as Attachment B.
