CHAPTER 7. MONITORING OF PUBLIC HOUSING AND SECTION 8

EXISTING HOUSING PROGRAMS FOR SECTION 504

7-1. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM. The final Section 504 Regulation

was published in the Federal Register on June 2, 1988 (24

[CFR Part 8](http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html)). Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of

1973 provides that \"No otherwise qualified individual

with handicaps in the United States \*\*\* shall, solely by

reason of his handicap, be excluded from participation

in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to

discrimination under any program or activity receiving

Federal financial assistance \*\*\*.\"

The requirements outlined in Chapter 7 are designed to

monitor compliance with Section 504. Compliance with

Section 504 does not insure compliance with the Fair

Housing Act. There are additional requirements imposed

under the Fair Housing Act. For example, there are

different requirements for: (1) physical accessibility;

and (2) types of questions that can be asked of

applicants.

7-2. MANAGEMENT OF THE MONITORING PROCESS

A. The monitoring of HUD recipients is an ongoing

process. The monitoring for the requirements of

Section 504 should be a part of the regular

monitoring process and should be integrated into

every review of a PHA.

1\. During the review, technical assistance should be

provided as necessary. Copies of the Uniform

Federal Accessibility Standard (UFAS), the

Section 504 Regulation, and information on the

Architectural Barriers Act are several technical

information sources. For access problems, the

Architectural and Engineering Branch should be

consulted.

2\. After technical assistance has been provided and

there are still unresolved areas of concerns, the

results of the review should then be forwarded to

the Regional FHEO Office for consideration for a

compliance review.

The Field Office is usually the first HUD contact for

many 504 recipients. Careful monitoring combined

with efficient and effective technical assistance can

lead to positive implementation of the Section 504

Regulation.

Page 7-1 12/89

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

B. Monitoring for Section 504 should focus on five main

areas of concern:

o General Requirements

o Communications

o Program Accessibility

o Equal Employment Opportunity

o Physical Accessibility

A checklist is included for each of these identified

areas. Most questions on the checklists may be

answered, \"Yes,\" \"No,\" or \"Unable to Determine.\" If

the answer is other than \"Yes\", the reviewer must

explain in the space provided. Following each

question, or series of questions, is a statement that

should be used in the letter to the recipient if any

response other than \"Yes\" is given.

In most cases, the questions on the checklist mirror

those included in the recipient\'s self-evaluation.

The recipient\'s responses, once carefully examined,

will provide useful information about practices and

procedures. This information should be supplemented

and substantiated by a review of the recipient\'s

pertinent statistical information, material obtained

from community organizations, documents and forms

used by the recipient, and HUD\'s on-site observations

and interviews. With all of this information

assembled in a usable way, an accurate assessment of

the recipient\'s conformance with the Section 504

Regulation may be made.

NOTE: It could appear that all of a recipient\'s

practices and procedures meet Section 504 objectives

when, in fact, Section 504 requirements are not met.

For example, if a recipient fails in its outreach and

communication efforts, eligible individuals with

handicaps may not become informed about the program

and would not benefit as they would from the

carefully developed procedures and the most

scrupulous practices.

7-3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.

A. Self Evaluation

1\. Has the PHA conducted a self evaluation to assess

its current policies and practices to determine

whether, in whole or in part, they do not or may

not meet the requirements of the Section 504

Regulation ([24 CFR 8.51](http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html))?

\_\_\_\_\_\_ Yes

4\. Has the recipient changed its policies and

procedures that contain any definitions or

practices not consistent with the Section 504

regulation and the 1937 Housing Act? Note that

under the Fair Housing Act, questions regarding

handicap may be asked only to determine

eligibility for Public Housing as a handicapped

person (see [24 CFR
100.70](http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html)(c)). If there are

policies and procedures that include the

disclosure of confidential medical, psychiatric,

or psychological information, obtain copies of

this information and attach to the report.

B. Needs Assessment and Transition Plan

1\. Has the PHA assessed for its Low Income Public

Housing Program or will it have assessed before

July 10, 1990, the needs of all current tenants

and applicants on its waiting list for accessible

units and the extent to which such needs have not

been met or cannot reasonably be met within four

years through development, alterations otherwise

contemplated, or other programs administered by

the PHA? (If there are currently no accessible

units, or if HUD or the PHA determine that the

number of eligible qualified individuals with

handicaps on the waiting list is not fairly

representative of the number of such persons in

the geographical area, the assessment shall

include the needs of eligible qualified

individuals with handicaps in the area.)

2\. If the PHA determined, on the basis of its needs

assessment of its Low-Income Public Housing

Program, that alterations must be made to make

additional accessible units so that the needs of

eligible qualified individuals with handicaps may

be accommodated proportionally to the needs of

non-handicapped individuals in the same

categories, has the PHA developed a transition

plan to achieve program accessibility, or will it

have done so before July 10, 1990? (See 8.25(c)

for planning requirements.)

unions and professional organizations holding

collective bargaining or professional

agreements with the recipient that it does

not discriminate on the basis of handicap in

violation of 24 CFR 8.54.

7-4. Communications

Under Section 504, recipients must take steps to provide

for effective communication with applicants,

beneficiaries, and members of the public.

A. Does the recipient have means of

communicating with those applicants,

participants and members of the public who

7-5. PROGRAM ACCESSIBILITY

The facilities of any program or activity that receives

Federal financial assistance must be accessible to and

usable by qualified individuals with handicaps. The

extent to which facilities must be made accessible

depends on whether they are new, altered, or existing

facilities. New facilities must be designed or

constructed to be readily accessible to and usable by

individuals with handicaps. See 24 CFR 8.22. Certain

\"covered multifamily dwellings\" must be designed and

constructed to meet the accessibility requirements of the

Fair Housing Act. See 42 USC 3604(f)(3)(C); 24 CFR

100.205.

A. Non-housing Facilities

1\. Complete Exhibit 9 with information about each of

the recipient\'s programs or activities that

receives Federal financial assistance. Write the

name of the program or activity and the address

of the facility. Use the code letters and

numbers listed after the chart to complete the

other categories.

Program

Facility

The Status of a facility is new (N), altered (A) existing

(E), or an historic preservation property (H).

Features (from Site Accessibility Checklist 8-7)

The Methods that may be used to make a program or activity

accessible in a new (N), altered (A), or existing (E) facility

are as follows:

a\. Location of programs or services in accessible

facilities or accessible portions of facilities;

b\. Assignment of aide to beneficiaries;

c\. Home visits;

d\. Addition or redesign of equipment;

e\. Changes in management policies or procedures;

f\. Acquisition or construction of additional facilities;

g\. Alterations to existing facilities on a selective

basis;

h\. Any other method that results in making a program or

activity accessible to individuals with handicaps

(such as referral to other facilities that are

accessible).

In Historic preservation programs (H), priority should be

given to methods that provide physical access to individuals

with handicaps. A physical alteration to the property is not

required if it would result in a substantial impairment of

significant historic features. In that case, the following

Methods may be used to make a program or activity accessible.

i\. Use audio-visual materials and devices to depict

those portions of an historic property that cannot

otherwise be made accessible;

j\. Assign persons to guide individuals with handicaps

into or through portions of historic properties that

cannot otherwise be made accessible; or,

k\. Adopt other innovative methods. see 8.21(c)(2)(ii)

for suggestions

If the answer to (a)l and/or 2 above is no, the

following concern should be stated:

There is evidence that the recipient has

not distributed accessible dwelling units

throughout projects and sites and that

units do not exist in a sufficient range

of sizes, with a range of amenities.

Of course, if only one question is answered with

a no, that concern should be stated.

not used sufficient means to disseminate

information about the availability of

accessible units to eligible individuals

with handicaps.

c\. When an accessible unit becomes vacant and

before offering such unit to a

non-handicapped applicant, does the recipient

offer it:

\(1\) First, to a current occupant of another

unit in the same or another project who

12/89 Page 7-16

3\. New Construction and Substantially Altered

Existing Facilities

Both newly constructed and substantially altered

multifamily housing projects are subject to the

same requirements of accessibility. A facility

is \"substantially altered\" if it has 15 or more

units and the cost of other alterations will be

75% or more of the replacement cost of the

completed facility. All newly constructed and

substantially altered housing must be designed

and constructed so as to be accessible to and

usable by handicapped persons, 24 CFR 8.22(a).

(Moreover, all newly constructed housing may be

subject to the accessibility requirements of the

Fair Housing Act. See 42 USC 3604(f)(3)(C); 24

CFR 100.205.)

a\. Will 5% or more of the total dwelling units

(or at least one unit in a multifamily

7-6. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND REASONABLE

ACCOMMODATIONS

Section 504 requires recipients to conduct all their

employment activities in a manner which does not

discriminate against qualified individuals with handicaps

solely on the basis of handicap. With respect to

employment, a \"qualified individual with handicap(s)\"

means an individual with handicap(s) who, with reasonable

accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the

job in question.

The prohibition of discrimination in employment applies

to the following activities, among others:

\* Recruitment, advertising, and the processing of

applications for employment;

\* Hiring, upgrading, promotion, award of tenure,

demotion, transfer, layoff, termination, and

rehiring; and

\* Job assignments, job classifications, organizational

structures, position descriptions, lines of

progression, and seniority lists. 8.10(c)

Recipients may not limit, segregate, or classify

applicants or employees in any way that adversely affects

their opportunities or status because of their handicap.

There is evidence that the recipient did

not treat qualified applicants with

handicaps differently in the requirement

for pre-employment medical examinations.

If the answer is \"unable to determine\", state

concern:

The recipient should be required to adopt a

policy consistent with the requirements of

Section 504.

4\. Is the information obtained concerning the

medical condition or history of that applicant

collected and maintained on separate forms that

are accorded confidentiality as medical records?

The information may be shared in only three ways:

\(a\) Supervisors and managers may be informed of

restrictions on the work or duties of

individuals with handicaps and informed of

necessary accommodations;

\(b\) First aid and safety personnel may be

informed if the condition might require

emergency treatment; and,

\(c\) Government officials investigating compliance

with Section 504 shall be provided relevant

information upon request. 8.13(d)

7-7. PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY

This section is divided into a Site Accessibility

Checklist, pertaining generally to common areas, and a

Dwelling Unit Accessibility Checklist, describing

required features of accessible apartment units. The

Housing Facilities section of the Program Accessibility

Section explains the number of dwellings required to be

accessible in a housing project.

If any of the questions on the checklists are not

answered affirmatively, the following statement of

concern may be used:

There is evidence that the recipient has

failed to provide common areas and an

adequate number of dwelling units accessible

to and usable by qualified individuals with

handicaps.

A. Site Accessibility Checklist

This checklist is intended to be used as a relatively

quick and easy guide to determine a building\'s

physical accessibility. Detailed specifications for

each area can be found in the Uniform Federal

Accessibility Standards (UFAS).

Comments should be made on all \"no\" answers, and

should include alterations that can or will be made,

any insurmountable obstacles to accessibility, and

any other relevant circumstances and considerations.

B. Dwelling Unit Accessibility Checklist

The regulations require that a certain number of

dwelling units in federally assisted housing programs

be accessible. When referring to the design,

construction, or alteration of an individual dwelling

unit, the unit is accessible if it:

\(1\) meets the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards

(UFAS);

\(2\) is adaptable to meet those standards; or

\(3\) provides access to and usability of the building

by a physically handicapped person that is

substantially equivalent or greater than that

required by UFAS.

Note: The FHA imposes additional accessibility

requirements.

A dwelling unit in an existing facility which is

being altered for a specific individual is deemed

accessible if it meets the requirements of applicable

standards that address the particular disability or

impairment of that person.

Some of the required elements of an accessible unit

are listed below. It is not a complete list. Please

refer to the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards

for more complete and specific information.
