24 C.F.R. § 8.30
§ 8.30 Rental rehabilitation program. (24 CFR Part 8)
Operative Text
Each grantee or state recipient in the rental rehabilitation program shall, subject to the priority in 24 CFR 511.10(l) and in accordance with other requirements in 24 CFR part 511, give priority to the selection of projects that will result in dwelling units being made readily accessible to and usable by individuals with handicaps.
Under 24 CFR Part 8 § 8.30, organizations that receive rental rehabilitation program funds are required to prioritize projects that will make dwelling units readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities, while still following the broader priority rules and requirements set out in 24 CFR part 511. This rule shapes how funding recipients rank and select which rehabilitation projects move forward. The accessibility priority applies across the program, not just to individual units or buildings in isolation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners seeking rental rehabilitation funding should be aware that under 24 CFR Part 8 § 8.30, grantees and state recipients are directed to favor projects that improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities when selecting which properties receive program support. Operators who proactively incorporate accessibility improvements into their rehabilitation proposals generally align with the selection criteria that funding recipients are required to apply. Familiarity with the related requirements in 24 CFR part 511 can help owners understand how their projects are evaluated within the broader program framework.

Section 8.30 of 24 CFR Part 8 establishes that rental rehabilitation program funds should flow toward projects that make housing accessible to people with disabilities, which can affect the availability and quality of accessible units in rehabilitated properties. Tenants with disabilities who believe a grantee or state recipient is not applying this priority may have grounds to raise the issue with the administering agency or a local HUD office. Tenant-rights organizations and fair housing agencies can be useful resources for understanding how this provision intersects with other accessibility and nondiscrimination protections.
