I request additional search time as a reasonable accommodation under
24 CFR 982.303(b)(2) so that the voucher program is accessible to a household
member with a disability.

Because of the disability, we need [describe the accommodation-related
search needs or barriers, such as an accessible entrance and bathroom].
This has affected the housing search in the following ways: [facts and dates].

I request [number] additional days, through [date]. This period is needed
because [explain how the requested time addresses the search barrier].

[Describe relevant verification attached, if any. Delete this sentence
if no verification is attached.] Please tell me what additional information
you need to evaluate this request. Please confirm receipt and provide your
decision and any revised voucher expiration date in writing.

Sincerely,
