Thank you for visiting the web site for the Oregon Hopeline. We appreciate that many visitors are concerned about accessibility to their digital government and we pledge that the Hopeline is committed to achieving meaningful accessibility to this online environment.

In addition, reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate all users who utilize standards compliant web browsers, as well as enabling software or assistive technology.
Standards for compliance
Extensive effort is made to adhere to the Federal Section 508 Standards requirements set forth in the Rehabilitation Act that was amended in 1998. These standards were created to help eliminate barriers in information technology, make new opportunities available for people with disabilities and encourage the development of technologies that help achieve these goals. For more information about these standards please visit the Section 508 web site (www.hhs.gov/web/508) or the Federal Access Board web site (www.access-board.gov)
In addition, this website strives to comply with the Oregon Web Accessibility Standards to ensure that all consumers are provided equal access to web-based information and services. These standards are based on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA, Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Plain Language Act of 2010.
