Fair HousingIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado developer's marketing materials for a new subdivision show only white families. HUD would likely consider this:

AAcceptable as long as the developer will sell to anyone
BPotentially discriminatory advertising that suggests the development is intended for white buyers onlyCorrect
COnly a problem if the development is in a minority neighborhood, though specifics can vary by situation
DAcceptable under free speech protections

Why Potentially discriminatory advertising that suggests the development is intended for white buyers only Is Correct

Answer B: Potentially discriminatory advertising that suggests the development is intended for white buyers only

The Fair Housing Act prohibits advertising that indicates a preference for or against a protected class. Marketing materials showing only one racial group suggest a racial preference and violate the Act's advertising provisions.

Exam Tip: Fair Housing

Fair Housing questions test both federal (Fair Housing Act of 1968) and state-level protected classes. The federal protected classes are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. Many states add additional protections.
