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. 8.33  Housing adjustments.

    A recipient shall modify its housing policies and practices to 
ensure that these policies and practices do not discriminate, on the 
basis of handicap, against a qualified individual with handicaps. The 
recipient may not impose upon individuals with handicaps other policies, 
such as the prohibition of assistive devices, auxiliary alarms, or 
guides in housing facilities, that have the effect of limiting the 
participation of tenants with handicaps in the recipient's federally 
assisted housing program or activity in violation of this part. Housing 
policies that the recipient can demonstrate are essential to the housing 
program or activity will not be regarded as discriminatory within the 
meaning of this section if modifications to them would result in a 
fundamental alteration in the nature of the program or activity or undue 
financial and administrative burdens.
