# Disabled Veterans and the Fair Housing Act

What do you need to know about the Fair Housing Act when applying for a VA home loan? Fair Housing laws were enacted to protect house hunters from discrimination. Basically it's illegal to deny a loan or housing to someone for non-financial reasons such as race, religion, family status, sexual orientation, gender, perceived gender, handicap, or other non-financial issues.
