The Fair Housing Act does NOT protect which of the following individuals?

The Fair Housing Act provides protections against discrimination in housing based on various characteristics, including disability. However, it specifically allows for exceptions regarding individuals with disabilities who may pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others. This means that if a person with a disability demonstrates behavior that poses a significant risk to others, such as violent actions or serious criminal conduct, housing providers may refuse to accommodate that individual.

This provision is designed to balance the rights of those with disabilities with the safety and well-being of the community. Therefore, a person with a disability who poses a danger to others is not afforded the same level of protection under the Fair Housing Act, making this the correct choice.

In contrast, individuals with documented disabilities, those with mental health conditions, and disabled veterans all qualify for protection under the Fair Housing Act, as long as their conditions do not pose a risk to others.
