Public Housing - Beyond 11B | 2023 2.5 Hour Winter Webinar
PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
Many public housing projects have multiple funding sources and additional requirements for accessibility that go beyond the California Building Code and 2010 ADA Standards.

We will also analyze sample projects with multiple funding sources and break down accessibility requirements that designers and CASp inspectors need to know.
