housing equality
Nondiscriminatory shelter access
Housing equality is the principle that access to housing should not be determined by race, ethnicity, income, disability, or other demographic factors.
The term encompasses both legal protections against discrimination and broader efforts to address disparities in homeownership, lending practices, and neighborhood resources: Advocates argue that housing equality requires more than just fair housing laws.
Related to but distinct from affordable housing, housing equality focuses specifically on equitable treatment and opportunity.
