Fair Housing Act — AI-assisted housing decisions

AI-use reference. Current law; separate guidance withdrawals do not repeal the Act. Applies to: Covered housing transactions/assistance, public and private housing with statutory exceptions; relevant if city/housing partners use AI in tenant screening, allocation or advertising. Requirements or purpose: Prohibits housing discrimination on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and disability; relevant decisions must comply regardless of technology. Limits: A housing authority/partner's legal identity and actual AI use must be established. Current HUD policy emphasizes intentional-discrimination enforcement; do not confuse enforcement discretion with repeal of statutory rights.
