Improving Accessibility for All
What is Access BHA?
The BHA recently signed an agreement with HUD to make 5% of its units and its common area spaces handicapped accessible within 5 years. Access BHA is the program the BHA has developed to achieve this goal. This plan will mean that 267 apartments in the family developments and 100 apartments in the elderly/disabled developments will be upgraded so that they are fully handicapped accessible. Common areas at developments throughout the city will be upgraded so they are handicapped accessible as well. Important Documents
