BSection 8 is a federal rental assistance program; Delaware's source of income protection makes it illegal to refuse rental housing to otherwise qualified Section 8 voucher holdersCorrect
CSection 8 vouchers are only ever legally required to be accepted in properties that are directly HUD-funded, though specific requirements can vary depending on the transaction details
DDelaware has no specific requirement regarding Section 8 acceptance

Why Section 8 is a federal rental assistance program; Delaware's source of income protection makes it illegal to refuse rental housing to otherwise qualified Section 8 voucher holders Is Correct

Answer B: Section 8 is a federal rental assistance program; Delaware's source of income protection makes it illegal to refuse rental housing to otherwise qualified Section 8 voucher holders

Delaware's fair housing law includes 'source of income' as a protected class, which means Delaware landlords generally cannot refuse to rent to otherwise qualified applicants solely because they are using a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8 assistance).

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.
