What this bill would do

This bill is called the Home Accessibility Improvements Inclusion Act. It updates the National Housing Act's Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance Program. The update adds accessibility improvements to what the program covers. These improvements include things like zero-step entrances, wider doorways and hallways, and accessible main-level bathrooms. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development must update guidance and create training for consultants and appraisers. Finally, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress describing how the program is used for these improvements.
