This interactive training is designed specifically for Section 504 Coordinators working in affordable and multifamily housing settings. Led by the experts at Balanced Housing Solutions, the session provides a clear, actionable overview of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, focusing on how to implement its requirements on the ground.

We’ll move beyond theory to equip coordinators with real-world tools, case-based examples, and a step-by-step framework for fulfilling their responsibilities effectively and defensibly. This session is ideal for both newly designated 504 Coordinators and those seeking to strengthen their compliance practices.

Participants will learn:

• The scope and purpose of Section 504 as it applies to housing providers;
• How Section 504 differs from and overlaps with the Fair Housing Act and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA);
• Who qualifies as an individual with a disability and what reasonable accommodations and modifications must be considered;
• The role of the 504 Coordinator and how to structure an effective response process;
• What to include in a 504 policy, procedures, and tracking system;
• Best practices for interactive processes, documenting decisions, and managing sensitive information;
• How to address complex cases, including hoarding, mental health-related requests, and assistance animals; and
• Common pitfalls and how to reduce legal risk through thoughtful, fair processes.

Attendees will receive access to a post-training resource guide and a 504 Coordinator’s “Go-To Forms” kit, including a curated checklist of essential forms every Section 504 Coordinator needs at their fingertips.

This toolkit serves as a strategic guide to streamline the development and management of your compliance documentation. Designed to empower coordinators with clarity and confidence, the kit outlines the critical forms required under Section 504 and provides a clear roadmap to drafting and organizing your paperwork efficiently.

This class is appropriate for designated Section 504 Coordinators; property managers, compliance staff, and service providers at HUD-funded or LIHTC properties; and regional managers or executives overseeing fair housing compliance.
