Plain English

HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-21 serves as a reference index, pointing to three federal regulatory frameworks that govern nondiscrimination and accessibility for persons with disabilities in HUD-assisted housing programs. These include rules derived from Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Act, and affirmative fair housing marketing compliance procedures. The provision does not itself impose new obligations but consolidates the citations that operators and residents need to locate the underlying rules.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under HUD-assisted programs should treat HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-21 as a navigational guide to the three regulatory bodies it references: 24 CFR Part 8 (Section 504 nondiscrimination), 24 CFR Part 100 (Fair Housing Act conduct), and 24 CFR Part 108 (affirmative fair housing marketing). Compliant operators generally maintain policies and practices that align with all three cited frameworks, ensuring that accessibility accommodations and nondiscriminatory marketing are addressed together rather than in isolation. Reviewing each cited regulation in full is a standard part of compliance program development for federally assisted housing.

For Tenants

Residents and applicants in HUD-assisted housing benefit from the three regulatory frameworks catalogued in HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-21, which together address disability-based discrimination, fair housing conduct, and affirmative marketing obligations. If a tenant believes their rights under any of these frameworks have been violated, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with HUD, raising the violation through a local fair housing organization, or consulting a tenant-rights group familiar with Section 504 and Fair Housing Act protections. Understanding that § 2-21 points to these broader rules can help residents identify which specific regulation applies to their concern.
