Housing Protection for Survivors of Violence: New Fair Housing Rights.
This act aims to ensure that individuals who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking are not discriminated against when seeking housing. This means their status as survivors cannot be a reason for denial of housing, helping them find safe shelter and rebuild their lives.
Key points
Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking are now protected from housing discrimination, similar to other protected groups.
Landlords and property sellers cannot deny housing or alter terms based on a person's status as a survivor of violence.
The act allows for housing assistance programs specifically designed for survivors of violence, without violating anti-discrimination rules.
