Location: Virtual 

 

This meeting will focus on the theme, Providing Support to Small Businesses in Being Accessible to People with Disabilities

 

Item 1: Panel presentation on current programs to support accessibility of small businesses:  What has been done to publicize them?  How many businesses have made use of them?   

 

Accessible Business Entrance and ADA CASp Assessment Program 

• Presented by San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development 

 

Shared Spaces Accessibility Grant Program 

• Presented by Shared Spaces Program 

Item 2: Moderated Forum:  What more can be done to publicize these programs?  What other gaps need to be addressed, such as assistance to restaurants and bars in providing plastic straws to customers with disabilities when requested, or with making small business websites accessible?  How can customers with disabilities get involved by recognizing their favorite businesses and giving them positive ideas for becoming more accessible?  

• This will be a moderated discussion between MDC members and presenters from Item 1, along with other relevant entities.
