Accessibility & Technical Assistance Templates

Open Ask EMILY (the button at the bottom-right of every page on amplifyaccessibility.org) and type or speak your need. EMILY helps you fill template paths such as a housing reasonable accommodation letter, FW-001 court fee waiver, and SSA-561, or drafts a custom accommodation request letter that you can sign on screen (drawn or typed signature) and download or print. It is free, non-attorney administrative help, not legal advice.

In step 1 on this page, choose “Housing reasonable accommodation letter (HUD has no official form)” to preview and download our free Housing Reasonable Accommodation Request Letter outline (there is no official HUD form for this). Your saved profile fills in your name and goal, and EMILY can help you finish and sign it. It is a plain-language self-advocacy letter, not a government form or legal advice.

Write to the school, program, housing provider, or employer that receives federal funding, and ask for its Section 504 coordinator. Say that you have a disability, describe the barrier, and name the specific accommodation you are requesting. Date the letter, keep a copy, and ask for a written response. Our free self-advocacy templates and EMILY can help you draft it.

Form FW-001 (Request to Waive Court Fees) asks a California court to waive filing fees if you receive certain public benefits, have a low income, or cannot pay for basic needs and court fees. Choose FW-001 in Start Assistance and EMILY helps you organize your information; you file the official Judicial Council form with your court, and the court’s self-help center can review it.

Yes. If you disagree with a DOR decision, you can ask for an informal administrative review, mediation, or a fair hearing, and the Client Assistance Program (CAP) can advise you at no cost. Our DOR-APPEAL template helps you organize the facts and write a clear request. It is self-help, not an official DOR form or legal advice.

Your light advocacy profile is stored in this browser under amplify_advocacy_profile so EMILY’s Start Assistance tab and these templates can reuse name, email, need type, and goal. We do not open private EMILY source systems from this page.
