<br />COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
<br />
<br />Contractor, to the extent applicable to this Agreement, shall comply with the following Federal laws
<br />and regulations as set forth in 24 CFR §§570.600-612:
<br />
<br />A Public Law 88-352, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which provides that no
<br />person in the United States shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be
<br />subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance,
<br />including community development funds, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.
<br />
<br />B. Public Law 90-284, Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §§3601- 20), which provides that it
<br />is the policy of the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, fair housing throughout
<br />the United States and prohibits any person from discriminating in the sale, rental, or financing of
<br />housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin handicap or familial status. The
<br />Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988, also establishes requirements for the design and
<br />construction of new rental or for sale multifamily housing to ensure a minimum level of accessibility
<br />for persons with disabilities. Multifamily dwelling units in buildings containing 4 or more units
<br />served by one or more elevators, or ground floor dwellings units with 4 or more units, constructed
<br />for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, must be designed and constructed in a manner that the
<br />public and common use portions of such dwellings are readily accessible to and usable by
<br />disabled persons. All premises within such dwellings must incorporate features of adaptive design
<br />regarding accessibility routes into and through the dwelling and design features within the units.
<br />(Regarding accessibility design issues, State accessibility requirements will prevail if they are
<br />stricter than federal requirements.)
<br />
<br />C. Age Discrimination Act of 1975, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in
<br />the delivery of services, programs or benefits supported by Federal funds.
<br />
<br />D. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, which prohibits discrimination against
<br />otherwise qualified handicapped persons in the provision of programs, facilities and employment
<br />supported by Federal funds.
<br />
<br />In the case of multifamily rental housing, projects of five or more units must be designed
