Fair housing


 

In the United States, the phrase fair housing dates back to the 1960s. It refers to a political movement of the time to outlaw discrimination in the rental or purchase of homes and a broad range of other housing-related transactions, such as advertising, mortgage lending, homeowner's insurance and zoning. At the urging of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, Congress passed the federal Fair Housing Act in April 1968 only one week after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr..
