Do the Fair Housing Acts design and construction requirements require fully accessible units?
No, the Fair Housing Act does not require fully accessible units. Although the requirements apply to a broad number of dwelling units, the Act’s design and construction requirements are modest and result in units that do not look different from traditional units but can be easily adapted by people with disabilities who require features of accessibility not required by the Fair Housing Act.
