According to the ADA, which type of housing does it not apply to?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not apply to residential housing. The ADA primarily focuses on access to public accommodations and commercial facilities, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can access and utilize public spaces and facilities. Residential housing, including single-family homes, is generally covered under the Fair Housing Act, which contains provisions specific to housing discrimination and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

While certain aspects of multi-family housing may invoke ADA compliance, such as ensuring that common areas are accessible, the law does not extend its reach to private residential units such as single-family homes. This distinction is foundational to understanding the scope of the ADA in relation to housing types, emphasizing the focused intent of each law regarding discrimination and accessibility in different contexts.
