S 4006 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Fair Housing for Survivors Act of 2026

This bill expands protections under the Fair Housing Act to include survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking as a protected class. It requires landlords and housing providers to treat discrimination against these survivors the same way they treat discrimination based on race or national origin. The legislation also updates definitions to include dating violence, stalking, and threatened violence, and strengthens anti-intimidation provisions to cover coercion related to housing. These changes aim to prevent survivors from being evicted or denied housing due to their status as victims of violence.
