A Basic Guide
to Fair Housing Accessibility
Everything Architects and Builders Need to Know
About The Fair Housing Act Accessibility Guidelines
The
guide that takes the guesswork out of Fair Housing
Act Accessibility Guidelines conformance.
The Federal government is
stepping up its enforcement of the Fair Housing Act
Accessibility Guidelines, and failure to comply with
these Guidelines can result in a complaint for
discriminatory housing practice. This book enables
building professionals to avoid these charges with
clear, concise interpretations of the Guidelines and
descriptive illustrations of proper conformance.
Inspired by the author's
HUD-sponsored review of nearly 400 built projects,
this compact yet comprehensive guide reviews the
Guidelines for conformance with the seven basic
design and construction requirements of the Fair
Housing Amendments Act, from accessible building
entrances to usable kitchens, and points out common
conformance errors made by architects, builders, and
developers.
This practical, easy-to-follow
handbook:
- Demystifies accessibility
guidelines and reduces the risk of litigation.
- Explains which buildings
and units are covered by the law.
- Provides a compliance
checklist for multifamily housing design and
construction.
- Featuring only the facts
and technical guidance needed to help ensure
conformance with the Guidelines, A Basic Guide
to Fair Housing Accessibility is an
indispensable resource for architects, builders,
contractors, site engineers, and developers who
need to know that their work is in conformance
with Federal guidelines.
