HUD Handbook 4350.3 § 2-38

A.        In addition to owners’ affirmative obligations to operate their properties in a
                 nondiscriminatory manner and the specific requirements to make properties
                 physically accessible to persons with disabilities, owners must also consider
                 requests for reasonable accommodations from applicants and tenants with
                 disabilities.

                                                                               Chapter 2: Civil Rights and
                                                                           Nondiscrimination Requirements

Requirements for Persons with Disabilities

Subsection 4:
Reasonable Accomodations

B.       An owner’s responsibility to consider requests for reasonable accommodations is
                  separate and distinct from the nondiscrimination and accessibility requirements
                  discussed above in Subsections 2 and 3.

         C.       It is strongly recommended that owners include statements about the right of
                  individuals with disabilities to request reasonable accommodations in all written
                  notices given to applicants and tenants.
