It also provides contact details for the dedicated accessibility support team at Arizona Multihousing Association for feedback and further assistance if required.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

Level AA, and

Level AAA.

The standard for web accessibility globally is WCAG 2.1 Level A & AA.

• All images have Alt-text provisions.
• The user can zoom in on the website content up to 500% without screen visibility loss.
• Assistive technology users will be able to understand and access links, lists and forms, although some still require optimization (see below).
• The heading structure is optimized for use with assistive technology.
• Contrast ratios for text and non-text elements are accessible.
• Keyboard-only navigation with the correct focus order is enabled.
