U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): This agreement is for projects located in the City of Los Angeles. When projects are rehabbed or where there is new construction, 11% of units with mobility features and 4% of units with communication features are required. These projects also include an additional review by the local government, the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD), and the city-designated Neutral Accessibility Consultant (NAC).
• Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA): TEFRA projects are also considered a program administered by the state, therefore required to comply with the Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California Building Code, Chapter 11(B).
In California, funding updates and their respective accessibility requirements are sent by the Department of Housing and Community Development through the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) Calendar. In addition to Chapter 11(B) of the California Building Code, some jurisdictions require additional accessibility requirements such as universal design.
Additionally, all state or local programs, including the above, are required to comply with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and possibly Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act if Federal funding is involved. Projects constructed after March 13, 1991, must also comply with Chapters 11(A) of the California Building Code and the Fair Housing Amendments Act (FHAA).
HOW DOES AN ACCESSIBILITY CONSULTANT WORK?
An accessibility consultant works with the property owner, developer, architect, and builder to make sure the rehabilitation of an existing property or the construction of a new property complies with the required accessibility codes. In the case of affordable housing, funding requirements for accessibility vary based on the funding stacks per development. The consultant will research and review federal, state, and local laws and building codes, whichever is more stringent, to provide design document reviews, Request for Information and submittal review, construction progress monitoring, and accessibility compliance reports.
