Fair Housing

More 

Did you know?
California has a law called the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)1 that protects people from housing discrimination based on protected characteristics, including the source of a housing applicant or tenant's income. This includes the use of a federal, state, or local housing subsidy, such as a Housing Choice Voucher (also known as an "HCV" or "Section 8"), that helps participants afford their rent. The law also protects people from source of income discrimination in housing other than rental housing.

Fair Housing Laws
Federal, State, and Local laws prohibit housing discrimination based on the categories listed below. The laws cover housing for rent or sale, advertising, lending, insurance, steering, redlining and hate crimes. Remedies for illegal discrimination include injunctive relief, monetary damages, and penalties.

  • Race
  • Color
  • Sex
  • National Origin
