Avoiding common enforcement problems > Specify government rental assistance (Section 8, Housing Choice Voucher, other rental assistance) > Clarify that refusal to rent to voucher holder because of some aspect of the program constitutes SOI discrimination (cf discrimination against families with children) > Provide a robust adjudication process > Fund a strong fair housing enforcement community > Civil rights attorneys fees for successful plaintiffs
