About This Resource: At Voices For The Rare, we believe that “administrative ignorance” is a form of systemic erasure. For too long, rare disease patients in Arizona have been told by state agencies (AHCCCS/DES/DDD) that they “do not know” how to process Section 811 PRA referrals or that they “lack the training” to accommodate medically fragile residents.
This portal exists to eliminate those excuses. Below are the direct links to the HUD Exchange Training Library and Federal Systems Mapping—the exact tools HUD has provided to state agencies to ensure 504 compliance and successful housing placement. We invite advocates, case managers, and state administrators to utilize these resources to bring Arizona into federal compliance.
Federal Training Library for State Agencies
1. Section 811 PRA: Systems Mapping & Referral Flow
This is the “blueprints” for the program. It outlines exactly how the state is supposed to coordinate between housing and health agencies to prevent referral blackouts.
2. Mandatory Reasonable Accommodation (Parts 1 & 2)
These federal webinars outline the legal obligation for state agencies and developers to accommodate residents with disabilities—including extending response windows and accepting non-verbal communication.
- Watch: Reasonable Accommodation in 811 PRA (Part 1)
- Access: Accommodation Screening & Eviction Prevention (Part 2)
3. HUD Secure Systems: Technical Setup Guide
When agencies claim “technical issues” with the HUD portal, they are ignoring these step-by-step guides. This video covers the IDs, passwords, and administrative setup required for state grantees.
4. Supporting Successful Tenancies
This training focuses on the “supportive” part of Supportive Housing—ensuring that once a rare disease patient is housed, they have the integrated services needed to thrive.
