FAQs about the ADA and Housing

Question: Can a place of public accommodation be covered by both the ADA and the Fair Housing Act (FHA)?

Answer: Yes. The analysis for determining whether a facility is covered by Title III is entirely separate and independent from the analysis used to determine coverage under the FHA. A facility can be a residential dwelling under the FHA and still fall in whole or in part under at least one of the 12 categories of places of public accommodation.
