When was the Fair Housing Act (FHA) adopted by Congress?

  1. 1968

  2. 1988

  3. 1983

  4. 1990

The correct answer is: 1968

The Fair Housing Act was adopted by Congress in 1968. This landmark legislation was enacted as a part of the Civil Rights Movement and aimed to eliminate discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. The passage of the FHA was a significant step towards ensuring that all individuals had equal access to housing opportunities, reflecting a societal commitment to civil rights and the principle of equality. The act was later amended in 1988 to strengthen its provisions, adding protections against discrimination based on familial status and disability. However, the original act's adoption in 1968 marked a crucial beginning in the fight against housing discrimination in the United States.
