                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 8--NONDISCRIMINATION BASED ON HANDICAP IN FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart C--Program Accessibility
 
Sec. 8.29  Homeownership programs (sections 235(i) and 235(j), Turnkey III and Indian housing mutual self-help programs).

    Any housing units newly constructed or rehabilitated for purchase or 
single family (including semi-attached and attached) units to be 
constructed or rehabilitated in a program or activity receiving Federal 
financial assistance shall be made accessible upon request of the 
prospective buyer if the nature of the handicap of an expected occupant 
so requires. In such case, the buyer shall consult with the seller or 
builder/sponsor regarding the specific design features to be provided. 
If accessibility features selected at the option of the homebuyer are 
ones covered by the standards prescribed by Sec. 8.32, those features 
shall comply with the standards prescribed in Sec. 8.32. The buyer shall 
be permitted to depart from particular specifications of these standards 
in order to accommodate his or her specific handicap. The cost of making 
a facility accessible under this paragraph may be included in the 
mortgage amount within the allowable mortgage limits, where applicable. 
To the extent such costs exceed allowable mortgage limits, they may be 
passed on to the prospective homebuyer, subject to maximum sales price 
limitations (see 24 CFR 235.320.)
