Housing Accessibility Assessment Program

CHOICE’s trained volunteers with and without disabilities assess the accessibility of multifamily properties for rent and for sale in Northern Virginia that were recently built or are under construction. Armed with tape measures, levels and a keen understanding of accessible housing design requirements under the Fair Housing Act Amendments of 1988 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, these volunteers visit properties and complete checklists to determine the extent to which newly constructed developments are complying with accessibility requirements. Properties that “measure up” are featured in our Accessible Housing Registry.

If you are aware of a multifamily residential property constructed within the last year where the accessibility is questionable, please request an assessment by contacting (703) 851-5257 or choicenova@comcast.net.

If you would like to become a trained volunteer accessibility tester, please complete the volunteer form and check the appropriate box. We will contact you with information about the next training opportunity.
