An estimated 45% of the homeless are disabled, so we need to be sure our site is accessible.

Please note: If you are using material-ui as your component library a lot of the accessibility is handled for you as long as you add the proper prop values where appropriate and you use proper hierarchy for headings and proper semantic tags.
