The HUD definition of a person with a disability is much narrower than the civil rights definition <br />of disability. The HUD definition of a person with a disability is used for purposes of receiving <br />the disabled family preference, the $400 elderly/disabled household deduction, the $480 <br />dependent deduction, the allowance for medical expenses, or the allowance for disability <br />assistance expenses. <br />The definition of a person with a disability for purposes of granting a reasonable accommodation <br />request is much broader than the HUD definition of disability. Many people will not qualify as a <br />disabled person under the HCV program, yet an accommodation is needed to provide equal <br />opportunity. <br />Page 2-12 <br /> <br />04/01/14 <br /> <br />
