The executive order prohibiting all discrimination in the sale, rental, or use of residential property owned, operated, or financed by the federal government is known as:

• A. Equal Opportunity in Housing
• B. Civil Rights in Housing
• C. Fair Housing Initiative
• D. Housing Equality Act

Answer: (A)

Nondiscrimination in housing tied to federal involvement is addressed by an executive order that carries the title Equal Opportunity in Housing. This order prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, or occupancy of housing that is owned, operated, or financed by the federal government. It establishes that federally connected housing must be offered on an equal basis to all applicants, regardless of protected characteristics, and it sets up enforcement through federal agencies and recipients of federal funds. This focus on housing connected to federal ownership or financing distinguishes it from the broader Fair Housing Act, which applies to most housing nationwide, not just federally involved properties. The other options don’t match the official name of the order or its specific federal-housing scope, so Equal Opportunity in Housing is the correct term.
