Ufas Accessibility Form PDF Details

The Ufas Accessibility form, developed by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity, is a meticulous tool designed to ensure accessibility compliance within facilities receiving federal financial assistance. Stemming from legislative roots such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and extending its reach to encompass the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, this form serves as a comprehensive checklist. Its purpose is to guide reviewers through a detailed examination of both exterior and interior elements across various property types, ensuring every component from parking spaces to kitchen counters meets the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). Requirements such as the dimensions of parking spaces, slopes of accessible routes, and the operability of controls are systematically addressed, with an emphasis on photographing compliant and non-compliant elements. Additionally, it accounts for the facility's specifics like name, address, renovation dates, and construction parameters, reinforcing the importance of a tailored review process. Equipped with tools like tape measures and door pressure gauges, reviewers are set to conduct thorough assessments that not only identify non-compliance but also pave the way for achieving a higher standard of accessibility in housing development.

UFAS ACCESSIBILITY CHECKLIST

NOTE:

1.This checklist is to be used in conjunction with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), 24 C.F.R. § 40, Appendix A. (www.access-board.gov/ufas/ufas.pdf)

2.This checklist is intended for accessibility reviews of properties owned, operated and/or managed by recipients of Federal financial assistance. See Section 504

of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), 29 U.S.C. § 794; 24 C.F.R. Part 8. However, the properties may also be subject to the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-20; 24 C.F.R. Part 100); and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq.)

3.This checklist is not all-inclusive. Please make additions, as necessary, depending on elements reviewed at each site. Reviewer is responsible for verification of each UFAS citation; all UFAS cites [including scoping requirements] for a particular element may not be referenced on this checklist.

Required Equipment: Tape Measure; Smart Level; Door Pressure Gauge; Camera

Photographs:

1.If element is compliant, then photograph area.

2.If element is not compliant, then photograph the area and zoom in to photograph the measurements
