Fair Housing for Survivors Act of 2023

The Fair Housing for Survivors Act of 2023 amends the Fair Housing Act to explicitly protect survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and severe trafficking from housing discrimination. It adds "survivor of domestic violence, sexual assault, or severe trafficking" as a protected class under the law, prohibiting landlords and housing providers from denying housing, evicting, or charging more based on this status. The bill specifically addresses common barriers like discrimination due to protective orders, shelter stays, or past incidents. This directly affects survivors who face housing denial or eviction because of their experiences with violence or trafficking.
