Plain-English Summary
New single-family homes and townhouses built with federal funding would need to include basic accessibility features for people with disabilities, such as no-step entries, wider doorways, and accessible bathrooms on the main floor. This requirement would apply to homes financed through federal programs and would make it easier for people with mobility challenges to live in newly constructed housing. The bill affects homebuilders, federal housing programs, and people with disabilities seeking accessible housing options.
