What kind of housing is covered by the Fair Housing Act?
Almost all types of housing with four or more units in one building that have been designed and constructed since March 13, 1991 are covered. This includes condominiums, apartment buildings, vacation or other time share units, assisted living projects, public housing authorities, HOPE VI projects, projects funded with HOME or other federal funds, transitional housing, and SROs (single room occupancy units) designed for more than overnight stays, dormitory rooms, homeless shelters used as a residence, cooperatives, hospices, and more. If there is at least one elevator in the building, all units must comply. If there is no elevator, all of the ground floor units must comply.
