Existing law, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, generally prohibits housing discrimination with respect to the personal characteristics of race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, disability, or genetic information.

This bill would state that it is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation regarding housing discrimination, including increasing enforcement pathways to address source of income discrimination against recipients of federal housing assistance vouchers.
