Fair Housing Act

Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the Fair Housing Act, was passed to address discrimination in the housing market. The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability in a variety of housing and housing-related activities. This includes the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, along with protections against other discriminatory practices.
