What is one of the key protections offered by the Fair Housing Act on a local level?

Minimum wage laws
Source of income discrimination
Workplace harassment policies
Child labor regulations

The correct answer is: Source of income discrimination

The Fair Housing Act primarily aims to eliminate discrimination in housing based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. One of the key protections that has gained increasing attention at the local level is the prohibition of source of income discrimination. This means that landlords cannot deny tenants housing based on the source of their income, such as whether it comes from government assistance programs, child support, or other non-employment-related sources. This protection is especially important in increasing housing opportunities for individuals and families who may rely on various forms of income assistance. By prohibiting such discrimination, the Fair Housing Act helps to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their income source, have equal access to housing options, promoting inclusivity and diversity within communities. The other options listed do not relate directly to housing discrimination or the Fair Housing Act, as they pertain to workplace rights and child labor rather than housing protections.
