Requires new federally-backed homes to be more accessible for people with disabilities.
This bill would require newly built single-family homes and townhouses that receive federal money to meet basic accessibility standards. This means these homes would have features like wider doorways and an accessible entrance on the ground floor, making them easier for people with disabilities to visit. It would take effect one year after becoming law.
Currently, newly built single-family homes and townhouses that get federal money do not have to meet any federal standards for visitability for people with disabilities. If this bill passes, it would be against the law for builders receiving federal assistance to construct covered homes without at least one level that meets specific accessibility standards. This change would take effect one year after the bill is signed into law, making these homes more accessible for visitors with disabilities.
