Nondiscrimination and Promote Accessibility
Subsection 2: Policies and Procedures to Ensure Nondiscrimination and Promote
AccessibilityHUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-26 compiles a reference list of federal accessibility and nondiscrimination resources, including regulations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), and ADA technical assistance materials from the Department of Justice. The section does not itself impose new requirements but points operators and administrators to the authoritative sources that govern accessible and nondiscriminatory housing practices. Together, these materials define the legal and technical framework for ensuring that federally assisted housing programs do not discriminate on the basis of disability.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under HUD-assisted programs can use HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-26 as a roadmap to the primary federal accessibility standards they are expected to follow. Compliant operators typically maintain familiarity with 24 CFR Part 8 (Section 504), 24 CFR Part 100 (Fair Housing Amendments Act), and the UFAS, all of which are catalogued in this section. Copies of the UFAS are available directly from the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board at the contact information listed in § 2-26, and ADA technical assistance materials are accessible through the Department of Justice resources cited there.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants in federally assisted housing who believe they have experienced disability-related discrimination can look to the resources catalogued in HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-26 to understand the federal standards that apply to their housing. The regulations cited there—including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Fair Housing Amendments Act—establish rights around accessibility and nondiscrimination that tenants may be able to raise as part of a complaint process. Tenant-rights organizations and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's complaint intake process are general avenues for exploring whether a violation of these standards may have occurred.
