Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2023
Summary
The Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2023 (H.R. 4439) would amend the Fair Housing Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected characteristics. This change would make it illegal nationwide to deny housing, provide different terms for a lease or mortgage, or otherwise discriminate in the sale or rental of a dwelling based on these factors. For citizens, this bill aims to provide consistent federal legal protections against housing discrimination for LGBTQ+ individuals, aligning federal law with existing policies in many states.
