HUD Handbook 4350.3: Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs

2-45 Fair Housing Act Basic Accessibility Requirements

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

The Fair Housing Act requires that all buildings designed and constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991 meet certain basic accessibility requirements. This requirement applies to all new construction, regardless of the presence of federal financial assistance. See 24 CFR 100.205. Owners of properties that should have been constructed in accordance with these requirements but were not, are obligated to retrofit their units to bring them into compliance with the Act. If a tenant in one of these properties requests modifications to a unit that should have been made at the time of construction, the owner has an affirmative obligation to make and pay for those modifications as part of its original obligation to conform to the Fair Housing Act design and construction requirements.
