                     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.
