Why Choose Us for Public Housing Accessibility?

Get Compliance in the Design Stage

Public Housing Accessibility is governed by multiple overlapping codes, and mistakes can cause funding delays, change orders, and/or legal exposure. We help agencies, developers, and architects comply with: 

  • CBC Chapter 11B (required for all public housing projects in California)
  • 2010 ADA Standards
  • HUD Section 504
  • UFAS
  • FHA Design and Construction Requirements
  • TCAC accessibility standards
  • Local DSA and municipal requirements


We make accessibility clear, achievable, and fully documented for your project.

Who We Serve

  • Nonprofits & supportive housing providers
  • Architects, civil engineers, and design teams
  • General contractors and construction managers

Expertise in Complex Public Housing Accessibility Codes

Public housing is not governed by one accessibility code; Making CASp expertise essential.

We help your team understand:

  • When CBC 11B overrides UFAS or ADA
  • Whether UFAS is required based on funding
  • Mobility, Communication, and Adaptable unit scoping
  • When technical infeasibility can be applied
  • Differences between ADA Title II and Title III
  • Required accessibility upgrades during alterations
  • Documentation for existing conditions


Our guidance minimizes risk, reduces construction delays, and strengthens project compliance. 

Why California Public Housing Requires CBC Chapter 11B

Since the 2019 CBC, all publicly funded housing in California is governed by 11B, not 11A.

This affects:

  • Unit scoping
  • Accessible routes
  • Community rooms
  • Leasing areas
  • Play areas
  • Parking requirements
  • Site accessibility between buildings


Most housing teams are unaware of this shift; We ensure no requirement is overlooked.
