The Fair Housing Act (FHA) is a federal law in the United States that was enacted as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Its primary objective is to prevent housing discrimination and ensure equal housing opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. The Fair Housing Act serves as a critical piece of legislation in advancing civil rights and promoting housing equality. By prohibiting housing discrimination, the Act aims to create a more inclusive society where everyone has equal access to housing opportunities, regardless of their background or characteristics.
