A while ago, HUD sent out a notice to all housing providers under Public and Indian Housing. Notice PIH-2010-2 (HA) was issued on Jan 5. It covers "Non-Discrimination and Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities" and reminds receipients of Federal funds directly or indirectly from the Office of Public and Indian Housing of their obligations under various laws and regulations dealing with accessibility.
This is encouraging since, unfortunately, many housing providers still do not know their responsibility under law on accessibility, and is another indication that HUD is devoting more attention to this issue.
