State of Discrimination

In Rwanda, the president of the National Council of Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) is urging employers to refrain from turning people away due to their disabilities (allafrica.com).

There are many employment opportunities that have no relative mobile duties, and yet qualified applicants are being turned down in a country which has actively promoted the rights of people with physical challenges (allafrica.com). Equal access to education and public healthcare have been granted and appreciated, but a copious amount of companies are reluctant to employ people living with disabilities (allafrica.com).

ADA Lifestyles of New York has created an abundance of accessible renovation technology in order for people with disabilities to move freely in their homes and offices. Visit our website at adalifestyles.com to see all of the accessible remodeling we can offer you or a loved one.

If you are a person with disabilities and live in the North Carolina area, come to the Department of Social Services on Thursday, April 5th between 9:00am and 1:00pm for a free workshop, which will be offering advice on fair housing rights (fayobserver.com). 

People with disabilities, advocates, providers of housing and services for people with disabilities, and the general public are welcome to learn about basic fair housing protection, reasonable accommodations and modifications, and access and design issues (fayoberserver.com). Speakers from the Fair Housing Project of Legal Aid of North Carolina, SocialServe.com and a housing locator service will educate attendees on these issues in order for people with disabilities to represent themselves and their rights (fayobserver.com). 

The seminar is funded in part through a grant under the Fair Housing Initiatives Program with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (fayobserver.com).
