4-17 Placing Families with Disabled Family Members

HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 — Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-05 · United States

  • A. An owner must not skip over a family that has reached the top of the list and has indicated a need for certain unit accommodations because of a disability. If separate waiting lists are used for persons with disabilities, they must also be placed on the general waiting list and given the option of the next available unit if they come to the top of the list.

  • B. The family must be given the opportunity to benefit from the program and decide for itself, in compliance with Section 504, whether a unit meets the needs of the family, based on size, location, or facilities. This means that the owner must notify the household whenever any unit becomes available, without regard to unit accessibility.

  • C. The applicant may decide to accept a standard unit, particularly when units meeting the household’s needs are in short supply. The family may accept the unit and request some modification to the unit as a reasonable accommodation. (See further discussion of Section 504 requirements in Chapter 2, Section 3, Subsections 4 and 5.)

  • D. Families who have a member who needs the accessibility feature of the unit take priority to occupy accessible units over families with no disabled family members.

NOTE: See paragraph 2-32 for additional information on assigning accessible units.
