V. Housing
Does the ADA prohibit discrimination in the sale, rental, and other terms of housing?
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 persons with disabilities, including persons with HIV or AIDS.
Housing discrimination is illegal in the sale or rental of a dwelling, including in apartments, houses, nursing homes, assisted living centers, and group homes, among other housing options.
Persons who believe that they have been discriminated against in housing because they have HIV status may contact HUD at 1-800-669-9777 (Voice) or 1-800-927-9275 (TTY) or visit www.hud.gov/complaints/.
