Bal­timore Re-Entry Resources, Inc. d/​b/​a Return Home Bal­timore (“we,” ​“us,” and ​“our”) reserves the right to modi­fy these terms at any time, and changes are effect­ive imme­di­ately upon post­ing.

Link­ing Policy; Third Party Web­sites and Content

This web­site ser­vices as a resource portal, and includes hyper­text links or point­ers to inform­a­tion cre­ated and main­tained by oth­er pub­lic and private organ­iz­a­tions. We provide these links and point­ers solely for our vis­it­ors’ inform­a­tion and con­veni­ence. When vis­it­ors select a link to an out­side web­site, they are leav­ing the www​.returnhome​.org site and are sub­ject to the pri­vacy and secur­ity policies of the owners/​sponsors of the out­side web­site. Because we do not have any con­trol over such out­side web­sites, we are not respons­ible for the con­tent of linked out­side web­sites and do not make any rep­res­ent­a­tions regard­ing the con­tent of accur­acy or the mater­i­als on such out­side websites.

Access­ib­il­ity

The com­mit­ment to access­ib­il­ity for all is reflec­ted on this site in our efforts to ensure all func­tion­al­ity and all con­tent are access­ible to our web­site users.

This site is routinely tested for com­pli­ance with Sec­tion 508 of the Rehab­il­it­a­tion Act using a tech­nic­al stand­ards check­list, in-depth test­ing with screen read­ers, policy experts, and people with dis­ab­il­it­ies. For more inform­a­tion on Sec­tion 508 tech­nic­al stand­ards, please vis­it www​.Sec​tion508​.gov.

In addi­tion, the returnhome​.org site is also routinely reviewed for align­ment with the latest Web Access­ib­il­ity Ini­ti­at­ive Guidelines for W3C. The Web Access­ib­il­ity Ini­ti­at­ive Guidelines from the W3C define how browsers, media play­ers, and oth­er ​“user agents” sup­port people with dis­ab­il­it­ies and work assist­ive technologies.

Images on the site con­tain ​“alt tags”, which aid users who listen to the con­tent of the site by using a screen read­er, rather than read­ing the site. Like­wise, a​“skip to” link provides these users with a meth­od for bypassing the head­er and going dir­ectly to the main con­tent each time a page is accessed. Text tran­scripts accom­pany audio clips, and closed cap­tion­ing is avail­able on videos.

The returnhome​.org web­site is being updated fre­quently to make it as access­ible as pos­sible. If you use assist­ive tech­no­logy (such as a screen read­er, eye track­ing device, or voice recog­ni­tion soft­ware) and have dif­fi­culty access­ing the inform­a­tion on returnhome​.org, please con­tact us at info@​returnhome.​org and provide the URL (web address) of the mater­i­al you tried to access, the prob­lem you exper­i­enced, and your con­tact inform­a­tion. One of our team mem­bers will con­tact you and attempt to provide the inform­a­tion you are seeking.
