Does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit housing discrimination?
Housing discrimination is not covered by the ADA. However, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, which is primarily enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), prohibits housing discrimination against people with disabilities, including those living with HIV/AIDS. For more information, see HUD’s Housing Discrimination Complaints.
