<br />COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
<br />
<br />Contractor, to the extent applicable to this Agreement, shall comply with the following Federal
<br />laws 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
<br />be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial
<br />assistance, including community development funds, on the grounds of race, color, or national.
<br />origin.
<br />
<br />B. Public Law 90-284, Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §§3601- 20), which provides that
<br />it is the policy of the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, fair housing
<br />throughout the United States and prohibits any person from discriminating in the sale, rental, or
<br />financing of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin handicap or familial
<br />status. The Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988, also establishes requirements for the design
<br />and construction of new rental or for sale multifamily housing to ensure a minimum level of
<br />accessibility for persons with disabilities. Multifamily dwelling units in buildings containing 4 or
<br />more units served by one or more elevators, or ground floor dwellings units with 4 or more units,
<br />constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, must be designed and constructed in a
<br />manner that the public and common use portions of such dwellings are readily accessible to and
<br />usable by disabled persons. All premises within such dwellings must incorporate features of
<br />adaptive design regarding accessibility routes into and through the dwelling and design features
<br />within the units. (Regarding accessibility design issues, State accessibility requirements will
<br />prevail if they are stricter than federal requirements.)
<br />
<br />C. Age Discrimination Act of 1975, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age
<br />in 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
<br />and constructed to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities. For new
<br />construction involving five or more units, and substantial rehabilitation projects of 15 or more
<br />units (with substantial rehabilitation defined as rehabilitation costs representing 75 percent or
<br />more of the replacement costs of the completed facility), the following requirements must be
<br />followed - a minimum of 5 percent of the dwelling units must be accessible to individuals with
<br />mobility impairments and an additional 2 percent accessible to individuals with sensory
