The city’s Disabilities Advisory Board was created in 1995 and is comprised of nine members. It addresses issues affecting people with disabilities, including ADA compliance, transportation, housing and access to city government and services for people with disabilities, and makes recommendations to the West Hollywood City Council relative to the adoption of programs, policies or ordinances of benefit to residents.
