Fair Housing Accessibility Consulting

Design reviews, on-site inspections, and expert guidance to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act.

Under the Fair Housing Act, residential developments, including multifamily and student housing, must meet specific design and construction requirements to ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities. ACI’s Fair Housing Accessibility Consulting services help architects, developers, and owners navigate these requirements from design through completion, identifying potential barriers early, supporting compliant solutions, and reducing risk during construction and occupancy.

• Design and Plan Reviews – Evaluate drawings for compliance with the Fair Housing Act and ANSI A117.1 standards.

• On-Site Inspections – Field verification of accessible routes, common spaces, and dwelling unit features.

• Retrofit and Remediation Consulting – Practical solutions for addressing non-compliant conditions in existing buildings.

• Due Diligence Assessments – We collaborate with our Property Assessment team to provide FHA accessibility evaluations during acquisitions or refinancing, identifying compliance risks before closing.
