Federally assisted properties must provide accessible units and reasonable accommodations

xp.accessibility.section504_units · v1.0.0

Properties receiving federal financial assistance must make 5 percent of units accessible to persons with mobility impairments and an additional 2 percent accessible to persons with hearing or vision impairments, maintain a policy for reasonable accommodations and modifications, and provide effective communication.

The distinction matters: whether LIHTC by itself triggers Section 504 is contested and generally answered no, but the property almost always has another federal source that does trigger it.
