All CHA housing and programs comply with federal, state and local Fair Housing Laws. CHA does not discriminate against applicants or residents on the basis of their race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age, disability, familial status, gender identity, sexual orientation or marital status. In addition, CHA provides “reasonable accommodations” to applicants and residents if they or any family members have a disability. A reasonable accommodation is a structural change CHA can make to its units or common areas, or a modification of a rule, policy, procedure, or service, that will assist an otherwise eligible applicant or resident with a disability to make effective use of CHA’s programs.
Unfortunately, CHA has no emergency housing for persons experiencing homelessness. We do work closely with local health and human service agencies dedicated to helping people find shelter and services while they wait for more permanent homes. Please contact them if you or someone you know is facing homelessness. The Voluntary Action Center and the Missouri 211 web site also provides information about available resources.
