HUD’s Section 504 regulations were originally published in 1988 and have not been significantly updated since. There have been many changes since the original publication like the availability and forms of assistive technology. The percentage of the United States population who are individuals with disabilities has also increased. It is crucial that the 504 regulations are clear, consistent, and current. HUD recognized the need for reform after they continued to find widespread discrimination on the basis of disability in HUD-assisted programs and activities and an ongoing need for affordable, accessible, and integrated housing opportunities for individuals with disabilities who are eligible for the programs and activities administered by recipients of Federal financial assistance from HUD.
