WASHINGTON, D.C., November 11, 2014—Today the Equal Rights Center (ERC)—a national non-profit civil rights organization—released a new toolkit to help veterans with disabilities advocate for accessible housing.
“Every year, hundreds of thousands of veterans return home to new challenges and barriers due to physical and mental disabilities resulting from their service to and for our country,” said Melvina Ford, executive director of the ERC. “Under the federal Fair Housing Act, these veterans are entitled to accessible housing and beyond that our gratitude and respect.”
According to government sources, 45 percent of the 1.6 million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now seeking compensation for service-related disabilities, more than double the estimate of 21 percent who filed such claims after the Gulf War.
The lack of available accessible housing for these veterans with disabilities contributes to higher rates of unemployment and homelessness. Approximately 12 percent of the homeless population is made up of veterans, which in real numbers amounts to almost 50,000 homeless veterans on our streets.
“Our veterans—particularly those who return home with service-related disabilities—deserve equal treatment and opportunity in all aspects of their new lives,” said James Schenck, president and CEO of Pentagon Federal Credit Union (PenFed). “It is imperative that we ensure that veterans with disabilities have the resources and education to be effective advocates for themselves and their families.”
The Veterans with Disabilities Toolkit highlights the rights to accessible housing afforded to veterans with disabilities under Title XIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This toolkit provides: an overview of the rights provided by the federal FHA, information on accessible design requirements of multifamily development, how to request a reasonable modification or accommodation from property owners or managers and answers to frequently asked questions.

1. Freedom Shores Newsletter
April – September 2009 Volume 1, Issue 5
"All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy."
By William Bussear
As most of you already know, Freedom Shores is a work in progress. My
wife Thelma, our general manager
Graciela and I have a very list of
improvements to make Freedom Shores
an even more enjoyable Universally
Designed vacation destination. My
problem is that when I start a project I
become so enthused that I forget all about
time. I should work four or five hours and
then lie down for a couple of hours. I
know what happens when I don't follow
that protocol.
Decubitus ulcers are the results of not doing what I know I should do! But I
keep thinking, just one more hour or two and then I will lie down. It usually
doesn't happen and I end up sitting six or seven hours in my wheelchair.
When I get in bed I have a red spot on my ishium. I think to myself, "I hope
that it's gone in the morning because I just have to finish this project!"
When morning comes and the redness is still there, sometimes I get up
anyway.
The projects are so important to me and I know if I'm not there, it will not be
done the way I want it. Sometimes I think, "If I just hurry and finish the
project, then I'll lie down for a couple of days until the redness goes away."
Now that I'm getting older and nearing the big 70, my skin doesn't seem to
be as thick as it used to be. Because of that, there are times that the redness
causes the top layer of skin to slough off. Then I have a sore and I have to
go to bed for three or four weeks until it heals.
(cont on page 2)
Page 1 of 12
2. This spring I had to leave Freedom Shores and come to the Long Beach
Veterans Administration Medical Center in Long Beach, California. The
sore would not heal. The doctors looked at it and told me that I would have
to be hospitalized and stay in bed 24/7. Well, you can imagine how
disappointed, depressed, sad, angry I am at myself when this happens.
Working on Freedom Shores is like a lovely, fulfilling addiction for me!
I have been here at the VA hospital lying in bed since July 6th! We have
two hyperbaric chambers here at the hospital. The spinal cord injured
doctors have found that putting SCI veterans in the hyperbaric chambers and
taking them down to 40 feet of pressure, results in faster healing. I have
gone into the chambers 50 times so far and my sore is almost healed. I
expect to be discharged and heading for Isla Aguada sometime during the
first week in December.
Freedom Shores Update
We opened on March 17, 2007 and every year things have been getting
better. This year will be the greatest! We have been dealing with the
Mexican government now for almost 2 years trying to get a permit to put in
a dock for the boat. It is very frustrating when dealing with the bureaucracy
as large as the Mexican government.
Some people tell me, "Just put it in. Most
of these other docs here don't have
permits." Last year the owner of one of
the dock was fined 60,000 pesos and he
had to remove the dock. I want to do
everything legal and my lawyer told me
that I would hear from the government
sometime in September or October. If
permission is granted, the dock will be installed shortly thereafter. It will
make things so much nicer.
Those of us in wheelchairs will be able to wheel down the sidewalk, across
the beach on a Mobi-Mat, on to the dock and then directly onto the boat. I
am keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

3. This year we also want to buy a 150 KVA transformer and have it installed
on our property. That will reduce our electricity bill by about 50%!
Electricity here in the Yucatán is extremely expensive. My electricity bill
averages about $1000 per month!
Promotion! Promotion!
In the north, the leaves are turning and fall has officially arrived. The warm
breezes of summer are gone and the cold wind from the north is starting to
bite your cheeks and sting your ears! It won't be long before the snow
flurries start and getting around in a wheelchair, a walker or a cane becomes
difficult and dangerous. It is time to make your reservations for your
vacation this winter!

7. This is a shot of the city of Campeche. It is designated is a UNESCO World
Heritage Site.
This is one of the gates in the wall the Spaniards built around Campeche to
protect themselves against the English, French, Dutch and Portuguese Pirates.

The people were very courteous and did not mind waiting for us. It is a
beautiful city!

9. This mansion was so beautiful! It was built in 1701 inside the city walls by a
very rich Spaniard. Campeche had many economic and cultural ties with France
and you can see that influence inside this grand structure.

This is the cathedral on the Zócalo (main square) in downtown Campeche.

10. On another day we traveled into the jungle and visited the Mayan archeological
site of Edzna.
(cont on page 11)

11. It was very impressive! At its’ grandest, Edzna had a population of nearly
60,000 Mayans.
This little girl scampered up the main pyramid steps (more than 300) without
stopping! When she reached the very top, she raised her arms over her head and
jumped up and down just like in the movie “Rocky.”
(cont on page 12)
Page 11 of 12
12. She then ran up the steps of the next pyramid! She became very excited when
her mother told her that her ancestors built these structures! She asked her
mother, “Did you know them, Mom”
This is the main pyramid from which the priests would address
the nobility and, at times, the commoners.
