The City of Buffalo NY is spending a lot on building houses.

I've seen the houses at Sycamore Village and thought
Wow new homes and totally inaccessible.
I was disappointed to learn the city is building them.
Does the city has to follow any of the ADA rules when building
subsidized housing? Have not found anything definitive
on the HUD site yet.

They spend a lot of money on housing and they can spend it wisely to
accommodate the disabled and aging population.
