— Accessibility

Built for everyone we serve.

HAAS serves people with disabilities. Accessibility on this site isn't a checkbox — it's part of the work. Last updated: April 28, 2026.

Our commitment

HAAS works to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards across this website. We design with keyboard users, screen reader users, low-vision users, and users with cognitive differences in mind — because many of the people we serve fit those descriptions.

What we’ve done

  • Color contrast that meets WCAG 2.1 AA across body text and interactive elements.
  • Proper semantic HTML — headings, lists, landmarks, form labels.
  • Keyboard-navigable navigation and forms; visible focus indicators.
  • Skip-to-content link at the top of every page.
  • Alt text for meaningful images; decorative images marked as such.
  • Form errors associated with their fields via aria-describedby.
  • Mobile layouts with large touch targets and clear hierarchy.
  • Reduced-motion considerations where animations are used.

Known limitations

The Document Submission Portal’s photo-quality checks rely on JavaScript. Without JavaScript, the page falls back to a simpler form — quality checks won’t run, but the submission still works. PDF documents in our Resources section are sourced from outside vendors and may not all meet the same accessibility standard as our HTML pages; if a specific document is hard to use, contact us and we’ll provide an alternative format.

Reporting an issue

If you encounter something on this site that’s hard to use — let us know. We take accessibility issues seriously and we’ll work to fix them.

Please describe the issue (the page, what you were trying to do, what assistive tool you were using). We aim to respond within two business days.
