Does Fair Housing apply to the disabled or a single parent with two children?
Yes, a person with a disability is covered under the Fair Housing laws. A single parent with children (under the age of 18) would also be covered under the Fair Housing laws. The federal and State laws protect individuals or families on the basis of race, color, sex, ancestry/national origin, disability, familial status (a family with children under the age of 18), religion, age, marital status HIV infections or sexual orientation and gender identity. I am disabled and would like to apply for family housing assistance in a federal public housing project. When my family is placed on the waiting list or offered a unit, will I be forced to take an accessible unit? I don’t want an accessible unit because it will cause problems for the rest of my family. Answer: You will NOT be placed on a waiting list for an accessible unit or offered one unless you specifically apply for an accessible housing unit that is appropriate for you. You must indicate on the application form the type of unit you
