Demystifying the Rehabilitation Act
Department of Labor Issues New Brochure on Demystifying
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), in collaboration with the Center for Faith Based and Community Initiatives (CFBCI) and the Civil Rights Center (CRC) of the Department of Labor has developed a new brochure to help faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) better understand the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The publication is titled "Demystifying Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act."
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act requires recipients of Federal financial assistance, including FBCOs, to take certain positive actions to make their facilities and services accessible and available to persons with disabilities.
