The Housing Authority’s committed to making its online services accessible to all. We have a national and global user base and are dedicated to continuously improving accessibility of our services with a focus on the anti-discrimination requirements of the Equal Opportunities Act (Persons with Disability) of 2000 (EOA).
Compliance Process
The website for rent registration is made to function with mainstream browsers which support specifications as listed in Government Policy and Standards (GMICT) available through https://www.mita.gov.mt.
As part of this effort, Housing Authority adheres to accessibility standard EN310549 and WCAG2.0 guidelines. Our online resources and products are evaluated both manually and programmatically for conformance to WCAG 2.0 Level AA guidelines. The Rent Registration website in particular is designed to work well and be accessible when being accessed with suitably updated hardware and software products.
Accessibility Measures
By using the accessibility options on the website, such as the ability to increase or reduce font size, etc., the user is able to tailor the website to suit his or her needs.
The Rent Registration website incorporates the following accessibility elements in addition to and as part of the aforementioned guidelines:
- Keep the hierarchy of HTML Headings and the information layout constant across multiple web pages.
- Where possible, maximize the colour contrast of the text.
- Functionality in multilingual languages
