A prospective homebuyer who is black inquires about the availability of a home in a predominantly white residential neighborhood. What should the broker say to this prospect?A)"The residents here have expressed a desire to keep the area homogeneous with no minorities."B)"I'll be pleased to show you houses in any area that you're interested in."C)"You wouldn't want to live in this area because the neighbors are trying to protect the integrity of their community."D)"I'd be happy to show you homes in other areas where black people are welcome."

The Fair Housing Act of includes a set of legislation that protect prospective buyers from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), gender (Housing and Community Development Act of 1974), and disability and family status (Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988). Collectively all these laws are known as the Fair Housing Act.

Other laws prohibit discrimination when selling, renting or financing a house (Equal Opportunity Housing law).

Both laws are enforced by the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) which is a federal agency dependent on the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
