This is a difficult question to answer as there are so many different variables. Each house is independent and may or may not be locally owned. As a matter of law, we are exempt from ADA requirements as we are private organizations. On the other hand, we want to be accessible to our members. The physical limitatons of existing properties often make that very difficult to accomplish. If the house is landlocked, it is difficult to add on a handicapped accessible unit. It may not be possible to move load bearing walls. Or it may be possible but not financially feasiable. In some locations, groups have made their homes more accessible. On campuses where the houses are owned by the U, it is up to the U to handle that if they fall under the ADA requirements.
