The coverage includes private housing, housing with Federal financial assistance, and State and local government housing. It is illegal to deny selling or renting a house to an individual due to their disability. Other activities included in the Fair Housing Act are zoning practices, construction, advertising and financing. Renters and sellers are required to make reasonable changes adaptations to their properties to provide equal opportunities to disabled people seeking housing. The disabled housing changes should be made even if it goes against their policy, just to make disabled housing more convenient. Furthermore, The Fair Housing Act requires access related adjustments to be made to private and common areas to alleviate disability accommodation. The Fair Housing Act amendments now also include multifamily housing with four or more units to be designed to allow access to persons with disabilities. Even though the Federal government does not directly provide disabled people housing, the Fair Housing Act was established to help make housing for disabled individuals easier to obtain and protect disabled housing rights. The Fair Housing Act  asserts that the right to disabled housing is a disability right and it should not just be considered a disability benefit.
