    (a) The purpose of this part is to effectuate section 504 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C 794), to the end that 

no otherwise qualified individual with handicaps in the United States 

shall, solely by reason of his or her handicap, be excluded from the 

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

discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This 

part also implements section 109 of the Housing and Community 

Development Act of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5309). This part does not 

effectuate section 504 as it applies to any program or activity 

conducted by the Department. Compliance with this part does not assure 

compliance with requirements for accessibility by physically-handicapped 

persons imposed under the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 

4151-4157; 24 CFR part 40).

    (b) The policies and standards for compliance established by this 

part are established in contemplation of, and with a view to enforcement 

through, the Department's administration of programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance and the administrative procedures 

described in subparts D and E (including, without limitation, judicial 

enforcement under Sec.  8.57(a)).
