Accessibility statement

The Eastside Hill Neighborhood Association (EHNA) is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology, keyboard navigation, or other accommodations to use the web.

Our commitment

We design and maintain eastsidehill.com as an inclusive public resource for a residential neighborhood. The site should work for residents who use screen readers, voice control, keyboard-only navigation, high-contrast displays, browser zoom, or reduced motion. If something on this site gets in the way of you participating in EHNA, we want to hear about it — see below for how to report a barrier.

Standards we target

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at the AA conformance level published by the W3C. WCAG 2.2 AA is the same standard adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice for state and local government websites under the ADA Title II rule finalized in April 2024.

We test the site with a mix of automated tooling and manual review. Our current automated baseline uses Pa11y running the WCAG2AA ruleset against the home page and the four most-visited templates (/, /meetings, /events, /about, /community). Results are committed to the public repository at docs/pa11y/ for transparency.

Known issues and remediation targets

We try to fix critical accessibility issues as we find them, rather than tracking them as long-running debt. The most recent automated baseline (May 2026) reports zero error-level violations across the five tested templates.

Lower-severity Pa11y warnings and notices that are not yet remediated are documented in docs/pa11y/README.md along with the planned remediation window. We intend to revisit the baseline at least once per quarter and after any significant theme or template change.

Areas we know need ongoing manual attention beyond what Pa11y catches:

• Screen-reader testing across PDF newsletters and other linked third-party documents.
• Color-contrast verification on any new accent colors introduced for seasonal content.
• Captioning and transcripts for any future embedded video.

How to report a barrier

If something on this site is hard or impossible for you to use, please tell us:

• Email: board@eastsidehill.com
• Subject line: "Accessibility feedback"
• Helpful (but not required) details: the page URL, what you were trying to do, what happened instead, and the assistive technology or browser you were using.

We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within five business days. If a report identifies a critical barrier — for example, content that cannot be perceived or operated at all by a class of users — we will prioritize a fix over other non-urgent site work.

You can also raise an accessibility issue at any monthly EHNA board meeting; see Meetings for the schedule.

Formal complaints

If you believe you have been denied access to EHNA programs or communications because of a disability, you may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act: https://www.ada.gov/file-a-complaint/.
