Title: Nondiscrimination Based on Disability in Multi-Family Homeownership Projects (FR-5429) 
Abstract: This rule would revise HUD’s accessibility regulations applicable to multifamily homeownership projects receiving HUD federal financial assistance to achieve three primary purposes. First, the proposed rule would amend the definition of “multifamily housing project” to provide that the term includes all multifamily housing projects funded by HUD that contain five or more dwelling units regardless of whether the units are rental units or homeownership units. Second, the proposed rule would require the construction and alteration of multifamily housing projects containing homeownership units for sale to meet the same accessibility requirements as the construction and alteration of rental units. Third, the proposed rule would require that recipients selling homeownership units with accessible features undertake marketing and outreach efforts, and provide preferences to qualified persons with disabilities who need the features of the units. These proposed changes are designed to ensure that multifamily housing constructed or altered for homeownership with HUD funds includes units that have accessible features, thereby ensuring that HUD and recipients of HUD funds meet their obligations to make available affordable homeownership housing for persons with disabilities.
