Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2025

This bill, titled the Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2025, would expand the Fair Housing Act to prohibit housing discrimination based on three new categories: source of income, veteran status, and military status. It defines these categories in detail and adds them to the list of protected classes that cannot be used to deny housing or to impose different terms or conditions. The bill also strengthens related enforcement and civil-rights provisions (including intimidation protections) and provides transitional rules for the federal agencies that administer housing programs to certify compliance. In short, the measure aims to broaden protections so that people who rely on various forms of income (such as housing vouchers or Social Security benefits) and current or former military members cannot be treated differently in housing transactions or terms. Key definitions include: - Military status: a person who is a member of the uniformed services. - Source of income: includes housing vouchers and other forms of public or private housing assistance, Social Security benefits, court-ordered income (like child or spousal support), funds from trusts or relatives, and other lawful income or assets. - Veteran status: a former member of the Armed Forces.
