Prohibiting Housing Discrimination Based on Income Source and Military Status
This act aims to protect citizens from discrimination when renting or buying homes. It means property owners cannot refuse to rent or sell based on where your money comes from (e.g., benefits, alimony) or whether you are a veteran or serve in the military. This ensures greater equality in housing access for many social groups.
