Yes. A PHA may use Capital Funds to repair and replace building components such as roofs, heating systems, new kitchens and baths for existing public housing. PHAs may also use Capital Funds to provide community space in existing public housing developments. For persons with disabilities, PHAs must comply with accessability requirements of: 1. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and 24 CFR Part 8 2. The Fair Housing Act and Part 100 3. Americans with Disabilities Act These provisions, require PHA’s, depending on whether or not it is new construction or modernization, must make certain units and or elements assessable to persons with disabilities.
