The Enhanced Accessibility Program (EAP) aims to ensure enhanced accessibility features are available in city-funded affordable housing.
Developers provide accessibility features that exceed the minimum requirements of the federal accessibility standards or increase accessibility for people with hearing and vision disabilities.

Developers shall incorporate all of the enhanced accessibility design elements identified in Part 1, Table 1A and Table 1B or Table 1C, plus five of the optional design elements identified in Table 2.
