U.S. Access Board · HUD Section 504

Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)

The 1984 federal accessibility standard HUD still applies under Section 504 (24 CFR Part 8) to the housing GCHS rehabilitates: when it applies and how many units, the technical requirements section by section, dwelling unit rules, and how HUD's 2014 option to use the 2010 ADA Standards with HUD's exceptions works. 10 lessons, self-paced.

Status

All 10 lessons are live

Every lesson is written and published with a diagram, a glossary, 14 practice questions (20 in Lesson 10) and neural narration. Every figure was checked against the UFAS text published by the U.S. Access Board, 24 CFR Part 8, and HUD's May 23, 2014 notice (docket FR-5784-N-01). HUD opened an update to its Section 504 rule with an advance notice in April 2023; as of September 2026 no final rule has been issued, so UFAS remains the standard, and the course will be updated if that changes.
