Fair Housing
A Georgia apartment complex advertises 'No Assistance Programs Accepted' and is located in a community with a large racial minority population. This policy may be found to violate fair housing law because:
AA. All housing assistance programs are protected under federal law
BB. If housing voucher holders are disproportionately minority, the policy may have a disparate impact on race✓ Correct
CC. The policy directly mentions race
DD. Federal law mandates acceptance of all HUD vouchers
Explanation
While federal law doesn't mandate acceptance of housing vouchers, such policies in communities where voucher holders are disproportionately minority may have a disparate racial impact. Some state and local laws have added 'source of income' as a protected class to address this.
