Accessibility statement

Our commitment

Freedom Ridge Veterans Resource Center wants this website to work for everyone. We build it to a published standard, test it on every change, and fix problems people tell us about.

Standards we follow

We build this website to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA also meets:

• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which federal agencies follow and which uses WCAG 2.0 AA.
• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II rule for state and local government websites, which uses WCAG 2.1 AA.

Conformance status

This website partially conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The web pages themselves conform. The downloadable PDF files do not yet, as explained under Known limitations below.

How we test

• Automated testing with axe-core on every page, in English and Spanish, in the light and dark themes, at phone and desktop widths. It runs before every deploy, and a failure stops the site from publishing.
• Automated checks that every page has one main heading and never scrolls sideways at 320 pixels wide.
• Manual checks with the keyboard only, at 200 and 400 percent zoom, with increased text spacing, in Windows High Contrast mode, and with reduced motion turned on.
• Screen reader testing with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack is scheduled. We will post the results here.

Last full review: September 2026.

What we have built in

• A "Skip to main content" link, landmarks, and headings in a logical order on every page.
• Everything works with a keyboard, with a clear focus ring you can always see.
• Text contrast that meets WCAG AA in both the light and dark themes.
• Text descriptions for meaningful images. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• Forms with visible labels, and errors explained in words, next to the field and in a summary at the top.
• A web version of every downloadable form.
• Nothing on the page moves on its own without a pause button, and the site respects the "reduce motion" setting.
• Pages that reflow to one column on a small screen and support zoom up to 400 percent.
• Support for Windows High Contrast mode.
• Every page in English and Spanish, and free interpreters in other languages.
• No time limits, no pop-ups, and no accessibility "overlay" widget. We fix the site itself instead.

Known limitations

These are the problems we know about, and what to do in the meantime:

• Downloadable PDF forms and notices are not tagged, so a screen reader cannot read their structure well. Every form has a web version you can fill in and print. For any notice or document, call us and we will send it in a format that works for you. Go to forms
• The map on our contact page comes from OpenStreetMap, which we do not control. Our full address and hours are written out as text next to the map. Go to contact
• The Veterans Crisis Line chat is an outside service and is in English only. Call 988 and press 1 to reach a responder, or text 838255.

Browsers and assistive technology

This website works with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, and is built to work with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack, and with voice control and screen magnifiers.
