The Fair Housing Act also prohibits discrimination due to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and disability. A variety of other federal civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, prohibit discrimination in housing and community development programs and activities, particularly those associated with funding through the federal Housing and Urban Development agency HUD Website.
