"History of Fair Housing"
Every year in April, we take time to celebrate the landmark passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, prohibiting discrimination in the renting, selling and financing of housing. Fair housing ensures that everyone has equal access to housing without discrimination. The Cambridge Fair Housing Ordinance prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability, age, sexual orientation, relationship status, family structure, gender identity, marital status, military status, and source of income.
In celebration of National Fair Housing Month, we are sharing a series of blog posts highlighting common fair housing issues. This week, we’re focusing on a tenant’s right to request reasonable accommodations and modifications.
A person with a disability may request reasonable accommodation or modification to their housing. The Cambridge Fair Housing Ordinance defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities.
