Bill overview
The Fair Housing for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Survivors Act of 2019 aims to protect survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault from discrimination when seeking or maintaining housing. The bill amends the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act to explicitly recognize survivors as a protected class, prohibiting landlords from denying housing opportunities based on their status as survivors or due to a previous residence at a domestic violence shelter. It also clarifies that assistance programs for survivors of domestic and sexual violence are not prohibited and strengthens protections against intimidation in fair housing cases.
