What housing subsidy programs are protected under source of income laws?

Source of income protections cover a wide range of housing subsidy programs. These include federal, state, or local subsidies used to assist with rent payments. Protected programs include, but are not limited to, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program, Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing programs, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and various security deposit assistance programs. Additionally, any subsidy programs developed by cities, counties, and public agencies aimed at addressing homelessness are also protected under these laws. This ensures that applicants and tenants utilizing these assistance programs are not discriminated against in their housing opportunities.
