What It’s About:

The Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988 is a Federal law that prohibits discrimination in housing. Many townhome or attached housing builders are not aware of the accessibility requirements of the FHA or the implications of putting in features such as elevators into their units. Designers and builders will learn how FHA’s technical requirements apply to design and construction of 55+ one-story attached and multi-story elevatored attached homes and how to meet the accessibility requirements of the FHA.
