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

  • A. Definitions with Respect to Civil Rights Protections

    1. Section 504 establishes definitions for “ persons with disabilities ” and disability ” that differ from the definitions established in multifamily

    subsidized housing program regulations for purposes of determining program eligibility.

    1. The complete Section 504 definition of these terms is included in the Glossary and identified as:

      • a. “Persons with disabilities;” and

      • b. “Disability.”

    2. When the handbook uses these terms with respect to civil rights protections, it is usually in the context of nondiscrimination or accessibility requirements, such as a discussion of requests for reasonable accommodations by applicants or tenants. In this context, the civil rightsrelated definitions apply.

Note: A person who meets the definition of a person with disabilities as defined for civil rights protections may or may not meet the definition of a person with disabilities as defined for program eligibility purposes.
