The acronym FHA stands for which act?

• A. Fair Housing Act
• B. Federal Housing Administration Act
• C. Financial Housing Authorization Act
• D. Fraud Housing Act

Answer: (A)

FHA here refers to the Fair Housing Act, a civil rights law enacted as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. It prohibits discrimination in housing transactions—selling, renting, or financing—based on protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability, and it’s enforced by HUD. The other options don’t fit because there isn’t a Federal Housing Administration Act (the Federal Housing Administration is an agency created by the National Housing Act of 1934, not an act by that name), and there are no acts called the Financial Housing Authorization Act or the Fraud Housing Act.
