Accessible Units Available
The Jackson County Housing Authority (JCHA) has accessible units available for persons with disabilities. These units are located in various developments through out the county. If you are a JCHA resident that has a disability or someone who will be applying for housing with the JCHA, please be aware that you can request an accessible unit if your disability requires one. The housing authority has forms that can be filled out requesting an accessible unit at the time an application is done. If your disability has occurred since becoming a resident, you should discuss your situation with your property manager and request an accessible unit if needed because of your disability. Unless your disability is visually obvious (such as being confined to a wheelchair or having a visual or hearing impairment) the housing authority may require verification from your physician or another verifiable source, that your disability requires an accessible unit. If the kind of accessible unit you require is already occupied by someone that has a disability requiring such a unit, you will be placed on a list for the required accessible unit as soon as one becomes available.
