Home Accessibility Improvements Inclusion Act

This bill changes the National Housing Act so that the federal Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance Program (known as 203(k)) can cover home accessibility improvements. Examples listed include zero-step entrances, wider doorways and hallways, lever handles, accessible main-level bathrooms, and reinforced walls for grab bars, plus other features that meet accessibility standards set by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Within one year, the Secretary must update program guidance, create training for consultants and appraisers on how to value these improvements, and send Congress a report on how the program is used for them.
