The Fair Housing Act (FHA) has had a tremendous impact on the lives of those living with a disability in the United States. Signed into law on April 11, 1968, the act serves as a proclamation that all Americans are entitled to fair housing, regardless of their race, religion, or disability. Additionally, it protects people from discrimination while “renting, buying, or securing financing for any housing.” However, there is much more to this act that most people don’t know. Let’s take a look at what you need to know about the Fair Housing Act.
If you believe you have been a victim of housing discrimination, you can file a complaint to the HUD office closest to you. Accessible housing for every individual regardless of their disability is a fundamental right.
