Introduction to the Fair Housing Act

Welcome to the “Introduction to the Fair Housing Act” video lesson designed to explain the restrictions placed under the Fair Housing Act, or FHA. This video lesson begins by informing the learner that the FHA made it unlawful to discriminate federally protected classes. The rest of the lesson outlines actions prohibited by the FHA, exceptions made, the purpose of the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, how to report a violation of the FHA, and compliance of the Act. Ultimately, the viewer should have a basic understanding of the FHA after this video lesson.
