Frequently Asked Questions
3. I’m a single parent. How would I go about buying a home?
Answer: The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of:
- Race or color
- National origin
- Religion
- Sex
- Familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18)
- Disability (Physical or Mental)
Become familiar with the process, pick a good real estate broker, and possibly pre-qualify for a loan. Contact housing counseling agencies in your area to discuss your options. Also, consider buying a HUD home.
