### Accessible Housing Application for Adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Finding suitable housing when you live with rheumatoid arthritis means looking beyond square footage and lease terms. You need a home that supports your health—with joint-friendly features, reliable medication storage, and convenient access to specialized healthcare.

This **Housing Application for Adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis** is designed specifically for property managers and housing providers who understand that accessibility goes beyond ramps and grab bars. It helps you gather the essential information needed to match tenants with properties that truly meet their medical and mobility needs.

#### Why this matters for property managers and healthcare housing providers

Rheumatoid arthritis affects more than 1.3 million adults in the United States, with many requiring specific environmental accommodations to maintain independence and manage their condition effectively. For property managers in the healthcare housing sector, senior living communities, accessible housing organizations, and nonprofit housing providers, understanding these needs upfront creates better tenant matches and reduces turnover.

This specialized application helps you:

 - **Identify specific accessibility requirements** including door handle types, flooring preferences, and kitchen/bathroom modifications
 - **Assess medication storage needs** for biologics and other temperature-sensitive treatments that require dedicated refrigeration
 - **Evaluate location priorities** related to rheumatology clinic access, pharmacy proximity, and public transportation
 - **Document reasonable accommodation requests** in compliance with Fair Housing Act requirements
 - **Match applicants with appropriate units** based on their functional needs and medical requirements

#### What makes this template different

Unlike generic rental applications, this form recognizes that someone with RA may need lever-style door handles instead of knobs, walk-in showers instead of tubs, and guaranteed climate control for medication integrity. It asks the right questions about hand strength, mobility limitations, and medical equipment without being invasive or discriminatory.

The form balances standard rental screening (income verification, rental history, references) with accessibility-focused questions that help you determine whether your property can genuinely accommodate the applicant's needs. This protects both parties—ensuring tenants don't move into unsuitable housing and helping you avoid compliance issues related to reasonable accommodations.

#### Streamline applications with Paperform

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can show or hide sections based on specific needs. If an applicant indicates they use a wheelchair, you can immediately surface questions about doorway widths and turning radius. If they require medication refrigeration, you can collect details about temperature requirements and backup power needs.

**File upload fields** let applicants submit supporting documentation—medical verification letters, previous accommodation records, or income statements—directly within the form. **Calculations** can automatically verify income-to-rent ratios while applicants fill out the form, giving you instant insight into financial qualification.

For property management companies handling multiple accessible properties, Paperform's **forms integrate seamlessly** with your existing systems. Connect submissions to your CRM, property management software, or Google Sheets to maintain organized applicant pipelines. Set up automated email confirmations that let applicants know you've received their information and outline next steps.

#### Automate your housing workflow with Stepper

Once an application comes in, [Stepper](https://stepper.io) can automate your entire screening and approval workflow. Route applications to the right team members based on property type or accessibility features needed. Trigger background checks, send requests for additional documentation, and keep applicants informed throughout the process—all without manual follow-up.

Stepper can also help you maintain Fair Housing compliance by creating consistent, documented processes for every applicant. Automatic timestamping and audit trails ensure you can demonstrate equitable treatment if questions ever arise.

#### Built for healthcare housing providers and accessible property managers

This template is ideal for:

 - **Accessible housing organizations** and nonprofits serving people with disabilities
 - **Senior living communities** with independent living units
 - **Property management companies** with accessible housing stock
 - **Healthcare real estate providers** managing housing near medical centers
 - **Housing authorities** administering accessible housing programs
 - **Individual landlords** committed to inclusive, accessible rentals

#### Ensure medication safety and healthcare access

For many people with rheumatoid arthritis, medication storage isn't just convenience—it's medical necessity. Biologic medications like Enbrel, Humira, and Orencia must be refrigerated at specific temperatures, and any lapse can render them ineffective or unsafe. This form helps you understand whether applicants need:

 - Dedicated medication refrigeration with temperature monitoring
 - Backup power solutions for refrigeration during outages
 - Proximity to 24-hour pharmacies for medication emergencies
 - Distance considerations to rheumatology specialists and infusion centers

Location matters, too. Bi-weekly or monthly trips to rheumatology clinics, regular lab appointments, and periodic infusions mean that proximity to specialized healthcare can significantly impact quality of life and treatment adherence.

#### Create better housing matches, faster

By understanding your applicants' specific needs upfront, you reduce the back-and-forth typically required to assess accommodation requests. You can quickly identify whether your property meets their requirements or whether modifications would be needed—and factor that into your approval timeline and move-in planning.

With Paperform's professional, accessible design, you create a positive first impression that signals your commitment to inclusive housing. Applicants with RA often face frustration navigating housing systems that don't understand their needs—your form can change that experience from the first interaction.

Whether you manage a portfolio of accessible units or you're a landlord committed to fair housing practices, this template helps you gather complete, relevant information while treating every applicant with dignity and respect.
