Fair Housing Fact: Disability discrimination is the most common type of fair housing violation reported in Texas and the nation. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, including those with hearing impairments.
Providers should communicate the same information to all people regardless of their language preference, race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability or familial status. Persons with disabilities may request a reasonable accommodation to a program policy, practice, or procedure to allow for equal opportunity to use and enjoy their home.
