Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Weaknesses In The Planning And

Utilization Of Rental Housing

For Persons In Wheelchairs


Rental housing designed for the special needs
of people who use wheelchairs is scarce. To
help alleviate the shortage, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development and the
Farmers Home Administration, Department of
Agriculture, established goals for building
wheelchair-accessible units under some of their
rental housing programs. However, only a small
portion of the accessible units were occupied
by persons in wheelchairs. Also, the goals for
building accessible units in effect since about
1970 were set without information about the
number of people using wheelchairs in the
United States or the demand for such units in
areas served by the projects.

HUD and the Farmers Home Administration
need to take steps to ensure that (1) housing
units designed for people in wheelchairs are
occupied by such persons, (2) valid goals for
producing wheelchair-accessible units are set
and met, and (3) information is accumulated to
determine whether production and occupancy
objectives are being achieved for accessible
units.
