Accessibility

Cedarline Residential wants everyone to be able to use the Marigold Commons website, apply, and live here. This is what we've done, what still falls short, and how to ask for what you need.

Our goal

We aim for this website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, and we keep working toward it each time the site changes.

What we've done

  • Running text is 18 pixels, set in Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, a typeface drawn for readers with low vision.
  • Text colours are checked for a contrast of at least 4.5 to 1 against their background.
  • The 2026 income limits are a text table and every rent is written as text, never as a picture, so a screen reader can read them and they fit a phone screen.
  • Every form field has a written label. Every page works with a keyboard, the part in focus has a visible outline, and a link at the top skips to the main content.
  • No words are set over a picture, and every photograph has a written description.
  • Pages fit a phone screen without scrolling sideways.

What still falls short

  • No outside expert has audited this site. We review it ourselves as we change it.
  • The maps are hard to use with a keyboard or a screen reader. The address, and the places nearby with their walk times, are also written out as text.
  • The site is in English only for now.
  • Some lease and program papers come as PDFs or on paper. Ask the office for any of them in another format, such as large print, or to have them read to you.

Tell us about a barrier

If part of this site is hard to use, tell us the page, what you were trying to do and what happened. Call or email the office, or tell us in person.

We aim to reply within five business days. Until it's fixed, we'll give you the same information by phone, by email or in person.

Ask for a reasonable accommodation

A reasonable accommodation is a change to a rule, a policy or the way we do something, because of a disability: more time to turn in documents, a parking space near the door, or an assistance animal, for example. A reasonable modification is a change to your home, such as grab bars.

Tell the office in person, by phone or by email, at any time: when you apply, while you live here, or when you renew. There is no form you have to use and no fee.

An assistance animal is not a pet: there is no pet fee, deposit or rent for one.

Accessible homes

Five homes are built for wheelchair users, with roll-in showers and lowered counters, and two have visual and audible alarms. Every entrance is step-free and elevators reach every floor.
