Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification and Rating
The Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) is a rating system that measures and certifies the level of meaningful access to buildings and sites. Buildings that are rated receive a report outlining barriers and explaining how to improve the physical accessibility of the site.
