Accessibility Commitment

Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens is committed to ensuring that our website, mobile applications, and digital tools are accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Levels A and AA, as referenced in the May 9, 2024 final rule issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Our goal is to provide equitable access to information, services, and opportunities for all users, regardless of ability or circumstance. Accessibility is not only a legal requirement—it reflects our mission to serve the community with respect, inclusion, and care.

Our Approach

• Continuous Improvement: We regularly test and update our website to meet WCAG 2.1 A/AA standards.
