addressed.
The City has a large number of substandard, owner-occupied single family
structures. They are trying to provide a program to address at least 20
units of rehabilitation per year.
In addittion, they continue to reloan program income from previous TRRP
funds to repair substandard rental property made available to low and
moderate income families.

Americans with Disabilities Act
. Auxiliary aids and services must be provided to enable a person with a disability to use and enjoy the
goods or services of an establishment as long as the provision of the auxiliary aids does not pose an undue
burden or is not disruptive to business.
. If the policies, practices or procedures of an establishment have the effect of excluding disabled
people, reasonable modifications to those policies, practices or procedures must be made unless they would
fundamentally alter the nature of the business.
. A person cannot be denied the services or goods of an establishment because he or she has an associa-
tion or relationship with a disabled person.
111043 Structural Accessibillty - Removal of Architectural Barriers in New and Existing Facilities
Section 303(a) of the ADA requires most new buildings constructed and ready for first occupancy after
Jan,26, 1993, to be built to be accessible. The same holds true for major renovations begun after Jan. 26,
1992. Section 302(b)(2)(A)(iv) of the act also requires places of public accommodation to remove structural,
architectural and communications barriers if such removal is "readily achievable." (see Figure 1043-A.)
The "readily achievable" standard is defmed in the Justice Department title ill rules (28 C.P.R.
~36.1 04) as an action that is "easily accomplished and able to be carried out without much difficulty or
expense." The factors to consider in determining whether an alteration is readily achievable include:
(1) the nature and cost of the action needed;
(2) the overall fmancial resources, staff size, the effect on expenses and resources and safety require-
ments at the site(s) involved; and
(3) the geographic separateness and any fmancial and administrative relationship between the site(s)
and parent company, if applicable.
These factors are the same ones used to decide whether a reasonable accommodation imposes undue
hardship on an employer (see ~ 1024). Simply stated, if the public accommodation can demonstrate that
barrier removal cannot be readily achieved, then it is not required.
What the readily achievable standard will mean for any particular public accommodation depends on all the
circumstances; it would probably include the addition of grab bars, simple ramping of a few steps, lowering
telephones, adding raised letter and braille markings on elevator control buttons, adding flashing alarm lights and
similar modest adjustments. For example, a restaurant may need to rearrange tables and chairs, or a department
store may need to adjust its layout of display racks and shelves to permit access to individuals who use wheel-
chairs, as long as these actions can be carried out without much difficulty or expense.
The term readily achievable is unique to the ADA; it was perhaps the only key concept in the law not
taken from section 504, It also markS a significant change from section 504, which does not require that
existing facilities be made immediately accessible, only that programs be accessible. Under section 504, a
program must be accessible "when viewed in its entirety" (see ~330); not every facility must be accessible.
And accessibility need not be achieved solely through structural changes. Whenever alternative methods are
successful in achieving program accessibility, the time and expense of facility renovation work may be
. avoided (see pOl, ~350). Grantees covered by title ill are subject to the readily achievable requirement.

Americans with Disabilities Act
However, section 504 does require recipients of federal fmancial assistance to renovate or build new
facilities when that is the only way to achieve accessibility, which is not required by the ADA. Inaccessible
facilities are discriminatory if they compromise the overall accessibility of a federal fund recipient's pro-
grams and facilities. Existing facilities need not be made architecturally accessible unless this is the only
means of achieving program accessibility under section 504. However, like the ADA, section 504 requires
that all new facilities be architecturally accessible (see Chapter 400),
New construction
The ADA requires all newly built non-residential construction that will be used for public access by
patrons, clients or employees to be accessible to disabled people. It requires public accommodations and
commercial facilities that have complete building permits filed after Jan. 26, 1992, and will be ready for fIrst
occupancy after Jan. 26, 1993, to be designed and constructed so they are "readily accessible to and usable
by" individuals with disabilities, except where an entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impossible to
do so. The language of this section is purposefully broad to ensure that all new facilities are built so that they
are accessible to all individuals. For example, office buildings, factories and other places of employment
come within this section, even though they may not be open to the general public.
The phrase "readily accessible to and usable by" is used in the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 the
Fair Housing Act of 1968 and the regulations implementing section 504. It is also included in the UF AS and
ANSI standards (see ~530). Essentially, the term means that patrons and employees of public accommoda-
tions and commercial facilities must be able to approach, enter and use the facility.
The term does not necessarily require that every part of every area of a facility be accessible. However,
it does require a high degree of accessibility, including access to parking areas, accessible routes into and
from the facility, usable bathrooms and water fountains, and access to the goods, services and programs of
the facility (as with section 504 _ see ~410). For a store, this means that patrons can reach the store. enter it,
and reach the areas where the goods are provided. The same degree of access is required to allow employees
a path of travel around a work area and adequate space to use office furniture and equipment.
Alterations to existing structures
The provisions of the ADA that govern accessibility of new construction also apply to alterations of
existing structures where the commercial facility has itself chosen to renovate, Other than the requirement to
remove readily achievable barriers. the provision does not require alterations, but it mandates that when
alterations are undertaken, they must be made so that, to the maximum extent feasible, the altered area is
readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, Minor remodeling or redecorating changes,
such as painting or papering walls, replacing ceiling tiles, and other similar modifIcations that do not affect
the usability of the facility, do not trigger the accessibility requirements.
If alterations are made to a "primary function area" of a building, the "path of travel," restrooms,
telephone and water fountain serving that area must also be made accessible, unless the cost of doing so
Tab,1000 . Page 108
November 1991
Handicapped Requirements Handbook
Americans with Disabilities Act
~1040
would be disproportionate to the cost of the renovation, For example, this requirement would apply to a
restaurant that renovates its dining room. The route to get to the dining room, and any bathroom, water
fountain and telephone serving it, would have to be made accessible.
In the title ill rules, the Justice Department set a 20 percent limit on the amount a business must spend
to comply with the path of travel requirement. If the restaurant renovations cost $10.000, for example, the
path of travel alterations would not have to exceed $2,000.
111044 Reasonable Modifications
Besides requiring architectural and structural modifications, the ADA adopts section 504's concept of
ensuring equal opponunity for access to programs and public accommodations for disabled people through
modifications of policies, practices or procedures (see ~350). Modifications are not considered reasonable
and do not have to be made if they would alter the fundamental nature of the goods or services being pro-
vided, or if making them would place an undue burden on the entity.
Taken together, the requirement for modification of policies and procedures and the requirement to
provide "auxiliary services" embody the same concept as "reasonable accommodation" in the employment
setting (see ~640, ~1024).
Modifications to policies and practices
Consistent with section 504 (see Chapter 300 generally), the ADA (~302(b)(2)(A)(ii)) requires public
accommodations to make "reasonable modifications" to their policies, practices or procedures to enable
people with disabilities to have access to all the goods. services and other opponunities they provide, unless
to do so would "fundamentally alter" the nature of those goods or services being provided. Many of these
modifications will entail simple policy changes. such as:
. permitting (but not requiring) a mobility-impaired patron of a restaurant or lounge to be served
beverages at a table, even though the facility' s policy is to serve customers who are not ordering food only at
the inaccessible bar;
. altering a "no pets" rule for a disabled person who uses a guide or service dog;
. allowing patrons to produce forms of identification other than a driver's license when writing per-
sonal checks or purchasing alcoholic beverages; or
. recognizing that a child with a mobility impairment can participate in a recreation class with non-
disabled children, rather than requiring the child to attend a similar class for mobility-impaired children.
Entities that operate places of public accommodation are expected to examine their policies, procedures
and practices and eliminate any bamers to equal program access. The ADA does not, however. require an
entity to make modifications to policies that would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods and services
or cause an "undue burden" on the entity.
Unlike section 504, the ADA does not require private public accommodations to conduct a self..evaluation
of their programs and activities to determine which ones need to be modified to achieve accessibility (see P20).

Existing facilities: when change is not necessary,
Again, a recipient need not alter its existing facilities or replace existing facilities with new
ones if other means are successful in achieving program accessibility.
Seclion 504 does not require the recipient to make all existing facilities barrier free. Physical
barriers may be present in a recipient's facilities so long as these barriers do nOl hinder the full
participation of handicapped persons in each program and activity. when each is viewed in its
entirety, The distinction between existing facilities and new facilities, however. must be
emphasized, Existing facilities need nm be made architecturally accessible unless this is the only
means of achie\'ing program accessibility, But all new facilities-in other words, those constructed
or renovated after finalization of indi\'idual agency regulations-must be architecturally accessible
(see '420). In issuing their section 504 rulmakings, federal agencies reference the particular
accessibility standard to be used by recipients when undertaking renovations, alterations and new
construction (see discussion at '440),
Survey of each facility is not required
There is no requirement in any section 504 regulations that a recipient survey its facilities.
Surveys of facilities may have certain advantages for recipients: (I) should a recipient need or
wish to reschedule a program or activity to an accessible facility, the facility survey could be
consulted, and an alternative facility readily located: (2) in the event of any future renovations to a
facility, the recipient could consult the survey to ensure that such renovations, to the extent
possible, improve the overall access of the facililY,
Recipients should utilize the proper accessibility standards (see 1440, and the Facility
Accessibility Assessment Tool in Appendix VI) when undertaking any survey, Recipients are
reminded that any survey undertaken should make use of a survey team that includes handicapped
persons from the community, It is also important for the survey team to bear in mind the "type"
of person who will most likely be using the facility (e.g., a child? adults only? the general public'?
college students? specialized personnel only?). Where renovations are necessary, they should. to
the extent possible, be made to accommodate the "user group."
Necessary facility changes must be made within three years
The regulations (Appendix III: 1, *85.57(b)) state that when structural changes are necessary to
make programs or activities in existing facilities accessible. such changes shall be made as soon as
practicable. but in no event, later t~an three years after the effective date of the individual agency
regulations. However, if a program is a particular mode of transportation (e.g.. a subway system)
that can be made accessible only through extraordinarily expensive structural changes to. or
replacement of. exisling facilities and if other accessible modes of transportation are available. the
.federal agency responsible for enforcing section 504 with respect 10 that program may extend this
period of time. Such an extension, however. would have to be for a reasonable and definite period
Federal Programs Advisory Service March' 985
Handicapped Requirements Handbook
410:4
When Ualtemate routes" are permissible
Queslions have arisen as to whether programs are "accessible" if persons in wheelchairs are
required to use routes to and from programs that are not as direct as those used by non-mobility-
impaired persons (e.g" freight elevators, side doors, having to leave a facility and re-enter in order
to go from one floor to another). Although the Department of Education (ED) has not formally
addressed this queslion, informal discussion with' ED staff indicates that alternate routes will be
acceptable under certain circumstances, To preserve the "mosl integrated setting appropriale,"
principle when alternate roules are necessary, all persons, not merely those with mobility
impairments, should be permitted to use the alternate routes. These alternate roules should be made
into "regular pedestrian passages," and upgraded, if necessary, with the lighting, maintenance and
allention accorded primary entrances and exits,
Recipients are strongly encouraged to avoid practices that would require mobility-impaired
persons to lelephone ahead 10 gain entrance into a facility or ring a bell and wait for access. Such
practices are not being viewed positively by federal officials, since they have resulted in considerable
inconvenience and limited accessibilily in the past.
Alternate routes that are not as direct as those used by nonhandicapped persons, such as those
that would require a person to exit a building and re-enter on a different level to go from one floor
to another, will evidently be permissible so long as gross violalions of the "most integrated setting
appropriate" principle would not result. For instance, it would not be acceptable to maintain an
athletic facility that required a mobility-impaired person to go outdoors in the process of going
from a weight room to a locker/shower room,
In cases where the use of the alternate roules poses either safety or security problems,
recipients must, on a case-by-case basis, weigh factors such as (1) size of facility, (2) facility use(s),
(3) the degree of traffic that the alternate route is likely to produce, (4) the nature and degree of the
risks involved, and (5) the cost of making primary routes accessible.
Accessibility of secondary facilities: rest rooms, water fountains, telephones
When existing facilities require renovation to achieve program accessibility, the primary
emphasis should be on the program or activity itself, and making certain that handicapped persons
may participale fully in the program or activity. However, there are secondary considerations
related to facilities such as rest rooms, water fountains and telephones, since each may require use
by a participant in the accessible program or activity. But there are no clear-cut standards in this
regard. HEW has suggested that questions of which adjacent rest rooms, waler fountains and
telephones need to be accessible depend on considerations such as the distance 10 the nearest such
accessible facility and the number of participants in the accessible program or activity. If, for
. example, a lecture hall is used by several hundred persons at a time, accessibility should be
achieved in secondary facilities also. However, if a small section of a history course is made
Federal Programs Advisory Service November 1984
Handicapped Requirements Handbook
410:5
accessible, queslions regarding accessibility of rest rooms. fountains and telephones will depend on
the distance to the nearest such accesible facilities, the number of students in the section, and other
uses of the building.
When leased space is inaccessible
All programs and activities of a recipient must be accessible regardless of the nature of the
space-owned. leased or used through some other arrangement. In cases where leased space is
inaccessible, and programs and activities are inaccessible as a result, recipients are not advised to
break lease contracts on account of section 504, since federal law may not provide justification for
breaking such leases. Where leased space is inaccessible, a recipient should either:
(1) negotiate with the landlord to have the space made accessible;
(2) relocate the program or activity to accessible space, using the leased space for functions
that will not impinge upon program accessibility; or
(3) sub-lease the space for the duration of the contract and lease accessible space in its stead,
The question concerning leased space is clearly addressed in the Office of Revenue Sharing (ORS)
section-by-seclion analysis accompanying its seclion 504 regulations. Recipient governments cannot
avoid program accessibility requirements merely by conducting their programs and activities in
leased facilities. Programs and activities operated in existing facilities, owned, or leased by the
recipient must be accessible, If a program or activity' is currently located in a leased facility,
program accessibility requirements still apply, If structural changes are necessary to achieve
accessibility, and the lessor refuses to make structural changes and no more readily accessible
facility is available, then structural changes in an existing structure will not be required.
Accessible seating at special events
If a recipient sponsors special events such as meetings, theater presentations, or lectures, some
accessible seating-offering a reasonable selection-must be available for all such events. Special
considerations include:
. In all cases where there is little flexibility for renovation, handicapped persons should,
whenever possible, be provided seating with a good view of the activity.
. If accessible seating exists only among the higher priced sealS, such seats may be offered at
a COSI based on the average price of all seats.
. If possible, recipients ~hould consider the fact that handicapped persons may be attending
the event with nonhandicapped persons with whom they would like to sit.
Recipients should make every effort to accommodate persons with hearing impairments by
providing close-in seating and/or interpreters. Interpreters should be. situated so as to provide the
hearing-impaired individual with a view of both the event and the interpreter.
Federal Programs Advisory Service May 1987
Handicapped Requirements Handbook
410:6
When "outside" facilities are used by recipients
Regardless of who owns or operales facilities, recipients are responsible for achieving
accessibility, on the whole, in facilities used for program-related events to the extent thaI they are:
(I) used as part of a formal program of the recipient: or
(2) the subject of significant assistance that the recipient provides to the owner or operator of
an "outside" facility, (See Appendix I for a discussion of "significant assistance,") If a facility
does not fall inlO either of the above two categories, a recipienl may have no responsibilities with
regard to its accessibility,
Complicated problems may exist with regard to facilities (such as museums, lecture halls and
theaters) that are not owned or operated by a recipient but are used as a part of its programs or
activities. In such cases, a recipient must make certain that programs and activities are accessible,
on the whole. The "on the whole" principle allows recipients 10 utilize some facilities that are not
accessible, so long as sufficient options exist to make certain that program accessibility is not
compromised,
It is advisable when selecting such facilities to choose, if possible, those which are accessible
or are operated by federal fund recipients who have seclion 504 obligations of their own.
Requirements for accessible parking spaces
Readers should be aware that nothing in the federal standards under section 504 requires
the provision of parking. The standards applicable to parking come into play only if parking is
already being provided, or in the future when such is provided,
The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (A&TBCB) access
guidelines contain a specific requirement in this area and list a required minimum number of
accessible spaces (at Appendix IlI:M:vi). The Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)
are also helpful in this area and provide a useful chart (at Appendix III:H:xi).
With respect to how high the sign designating a handicapped parking space need be, the
UF AS document states that such signs shall be placed so "as not to be obscnted by a vehicle
parked in the space." Beyond this, there is no specific height requirement found in the
applicable standards under either section 504 or the Architectural Barriers Act (discussed at
Chapter 500).
,
I
When outside organizations use a recipient's facilities
The question arose as to what responsibility a city government had with respect to
ensuring that functions of organizations such as the Boys Scouts, Lions Club, etc" which are
held in municipal (federally funded) parks are accessible to disabled persons. Because there is
, federal money in the parks, the city has to ensure that city sponsored or supported programs
and activities in those parks are accessible. This responsibility, however, does not extend to
Handicapped Requirements Handbook
Federal programs Advisory Service May 1987
410:7
include non-city funded groups who use the parks. Thus if groups such as the Boy Scouts, the
Lions Club, or private businesses receive no city funding, then the accessibility (or
inaccessibility) of their particular outings is not the responsibility of the city government.
The responsibility of the city could be different, however, if the organization sponsoring
the outing were a secondary recipient of federal funding. In such a case, the primary recipient
would have to ensure that programs and activities of the secondary recipient are accessible.
(See discussion at '230 regarding "prohibitions against practices of secondary recipients which
may discriminate" and "prohibitions against discrimination by organizations receiving
significant assistance.' ')
