<br />regulations as set forth in 24 CFR §§570.600-612:
<br />A. Public Law 88-352, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which provides that no person in the United
<br />States shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to
<br />discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance, including
<br />community development funds, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin. Notwithstanding the
<br />preceding requirement, Contractor must also comply with federal requirements and nondiscrimination
<br />in HOME regulation 24 CFR Section 92.350.
<br />B. Public Law 90-284, Fair Housinq Act (42 U.S.C. W601- 20), which provides that it is the policy of the
<br />United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, fair housing throughout the United States and
<br />prohibits any person from discriminating in the sale, rental, or financing of housing on the basis of race,
<br />color, religion, sex, national origin handicap or familial status. The Fair Housing Act, as amended in
<br />1988, also establishes requirements for the design and construction of new rental or for sale multifamily
<br />housing to ensure a minimum level of accessibility for persons with disabilities. Multifamily dwelling
<br />units in buildings containing 4 or more units served by one or more elevators, or ground floor dwellings
<br />units with 4 or more units, constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, must be designed and
<br />constructed in a manner that the public and common use portions of such dwellings are readily
<br />accessible to and usable by disabled persons. All premises within such dwellings must incorporate
<br />features of adaptive design regarding accessibility routes into and through the dwelling and design
<br />features within the units. (Regarding accessibility design issues, State accessibility requirements will
<br />prevail if they are stricter than federal requirements.)
