<br /> 6. COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
<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 /> A. Public Law 88-352, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which provides that no person in the
<br /> United States shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected
<br /> to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance, including
<br /> community development funds, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.
<br /> B. Public Law 90-284, Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §§3601- 20), which provides that it is the policy of
<br /> the United States to provide, within constitutional limitations, fair housing throughout the United
<br /> States and prohibits any person from discriminating in the sale, rental, or financing of housing on
<br /> the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin handicap or familial status. The Fair Housing
<br /> Act, as amended in 1988, also establishes requirements for the design and construction of new
<br /> rental or for sale multifamily housing to ensure a minimum level of accessibility for persons with
<br /> disabilities. Multifamily dwelling units in buildings containing 4 or more units served by one or more
<br /> elevators, or ground floor dwellings units with 4 or more units, constructed for first occupancy after
<br /> March 13, 1991, must be designed and constructed in a manner that the public and common
<br /> use portions of such dwellings are readily accessible to and usable by disabled persons. All
<br /> premises within such dwellings must incorporate features of adaptive design regarding
<br /> accessibility routes into and through the dwelling and design features within the units. (Regarding
<br /> accessibility design issues, State accessibility requirements will prevail if they are stricter than
<br /> federal requirements.)
<br /> C. Age Discrimination Act of 1975, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in the
<br /> delivery of services, programs or benefits supported by Federal funds.
<br /> D. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, which prohibits discrimination against otherwise
<br /> qualified handicapped persons in the provision of programs, facilities and employment
<br /> supported by Federal funds.
<br /> In the case of multifamily rental housing, projects of five or more units must be designed and
<br /> 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 units
<br /> (with substantial rehabilitation defined as rehabilitation costs representing 75 percent or more of
<br /> the replacement costs of the completed facility), the following requirements must be followed - a
<br /> minimum of 5 percent of the dwelling units must be accessible to individuals with mobility
<br /> impairments and an additional 2 percent accessible to individuals with sensory impairments. At
<br /> the minimum, one unit will be made accessible to mobility-impaired individuals and one unit
<br /> accessible to sensory impaired individuals. When less than substantial rehabilitation is undertaken
<br /> in multifamily rental housing projects of any size, these alterations must, to the maximum extent
<br /> feasible, make the dwelling units accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, until a
