This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, which is divided into two parts, provides design information that will enable developers to make informed decisions on accessibility. Part I of the document describes the architectural characteristics of barrier-free and adaptable housing and outlines criteria for building components and dwelling units. In all, it contains 33 themes, 31 of which focus on multi-family housing, small residential units, the dwelling unit and common elements. The last two themes deal with special issues: meeting special needs; and home automation. Part 2 of the study presents an estimation of costs generated by the barrier-free and adaptable features described in Part 1 of this document. The objective is to indicate the possible range of these costs, so as to enable a developer to make a summary evaluation of the impact that barrier-free elements have on the construction cost of his project. In order to facilitate the referencing of the design elements described in Part 1, the costs are presented under the theme headings and the numbering system corresponds to the features described. The two parts can thus be easily consulted in parallel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fair Housing Act Design Manual: A Manual to Assist Designers and Builders in Meeting the Accessibility Requirements of The Fair Housing Act provides clear and helpful guidance about ways to design and construct housing which complies with the Fair Housing Act. The manual provides direct information about the accessibility requirements of the Act, which must be incorporated into the design, and construction of multifamily housing covered by the Act. It carries out two statutory responsibilities: (1) to provide clear statement of HUD's interpretation of the accessibility requirements of the Act so that readers may know what actions on their part will provide them with a "safe harbor"; and (2) to provide guidance in the form of recommendations which, although not binding meet the Department's obligation to provide technical assistance on alternative accessibility approaches which will comply with the Act, but may exceed its minimal requirements. The latter information allows housing providers to choose among alternative and also provides persons with disabilities with information on accessible design approaches. The Manual clarifies what are requirements under the Act and what are HUD's technical assistance recommendations. The portions describing the requirements are clearly differentiated from the technical assistance recommendations.
