    What It's About

    In multifamily housing, accessibility isn’t optional. It’s the law. The Fair Housing Act (FHA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) set strict standards. Failure to comply can result in expensive redesigns, lawsuits from private citizens or large DOJ settlements. This engaging, interactive discussion arms you with the knowledge and tools to design and build multifamily projects that meet accessibility requirements from the start, saving you time, money and risk. Through real-world case studies, visuals and scenario-based exercises, learn the ins and outs of FHA and ADA compliance, explore common design pitfalls and discover practical strategies to create inclusive spaces. Leave ready to apply accessibility best practices to your next project with technology, compliance checklists, digital resources and more.
