To amend the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination based on use of section 8 vouchers, and for other purposes.

Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Bill 119 HR 206, also known as the Fair Housing for All Act, aims to amend the Fair Housing Act to prevent discrimination against individuals who use Section 8 housing vouchers. Section 8 vouchers are a form of rental assistance provided by the government to help low-income individuals and families afford housing in the private market.

The bill seeks to ensure that landlords cannot refuse to rent to someone solely because they are using a Section 8 voucher. This is important because discrimination against voucher holders can limit their housing options and perpetuate segregation and poverty in communities.

In addition to prohibiting discrimination based on the use of Section 8 vouchers, the bill also includes provisions to strengthen enforcement of fair housing laws and provide resources to help voucher holders find housing in areas with good schools, job opportunities, and other amenities. Overall, the Fair Housing for All Act is aimed at promoting fair and equal access to housing for all individuals, regardless of their income or source of rental assistance. It is an important step towards addressing housing discrimination and promoting inclusive communities across the United States.
