Participants will learn how to distinguish covered from non-covered units, how elevator installation or access can trigger FHA obligations, and how coverage applies in buildings with a mix of single-story and multistory dwelling types. The session also explains common confusion points—such as the differences between multistory units, lofts, and carriage houses—and highlights practical strategies for determining when and how accessibility requirements apply. Real examples help clarify coverage scenarios and design implications for new construction.\nAn accessibility Subject Matter Expert (SME), Eric Contreras, will be available during the dedicated Q&A portion to answer design and construction accessibility questions.\nBy the end of this training, participants will be able to:\n\n determine when multistory units and townhouses must comply with FHA accessibility requirements,\n apply FHA standards accordingly in designing and constructing these dwellings,\n distinguish between covered and non-covered multistory units, identify when accessibility standards apply,\n determine the circumstances under which an elevator triggers FHA accessibility requirements for buildings or specific dwelling units,\n differentiate between multistory units and lofts,\n recognize how each dwelling type is categorized and regulated, and\n explain how FHA requirements apply to buildings containing both multistory and single-story units, ensuring compliance with relevant accessibility standards.\n\nThis training offers:\n\n one hour of focused training on the Fair Housing Act\nknowledge checks to strengthen memory and understanding\n 30+ minute live Q&A session with accessibility expert Eric Contreras\n a download of all webinar materials in the participant workbook.\n\nEach attendee who attends for 45 minutes or longer will receive a certificate of attendance.
