First published in 1996, 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 explains
the accessibility requirements of the Act, which must be incorporated into the
design and construction of multifamily housing covered by the Act. A clear
statement of HUD's interpretation of the accessibility requirements of the Act
is included so that readers may know what actions will provide them with a "safe
harbor." Recommendations are made which, although not binding, meet the
Department's obligation to provide technical assistance on alternative
accessibility approaches that are, at least minimally, in compliance with the
Act. The latter information allows housing providers to choose among
alternatives and provides persons with disabilities with information on
accessible design approaches.

In the previous edition, differences existed between the Act's accessibility
requirements and the non-binding or recommended guidance provided by the manual.
The revised 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.
