Another City Joins Growing List Of Municipalities Outlawing Housing Discrimination Against Renters Solely Based On Their Use Of Public Assistance Housing Subsidies

In Iowa City, Iowa, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reports:

• Iowa City is now the second city in the state to protect participants in the Housing Choice Voucher Program — commonly known as "Section 8" — under local fair housing laws.
  
  The Iowa City Council at [a recent] meeting combined its second and third considerations and voted unanimously to approve the amendment to the city's Human Rights Ordinance. The amendment is set to take effect June 1 and will make it unlawful for landlords to advertise that they do not accept applicants who participate in the program.
  
  The measure also will prohibit policies allowing landlords to reject applicants based solely on their use of housing vouchers or other rental subsidies.
