The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulates fair housing advertising under the Fair Housing Act (1968).
HUD issues rules on wording, images, and equal housing opportunity statements in ads.
Other agencies:
(A) HMDA (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) -- focuses on lending data, not advertising.
(C) CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) -- ensures banks serve all communities fairly.
(D) ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) -- prohibits discrimination in lending, not ads.
Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.

I remember HMDA is about mortgage data, but I can't recall if it has anything to do with advertising. I really think it's HUD, though.

I’m a bit confused between HUD and ECOA. I know ECOA deals with credit discrimination, but does it also cover advertising?

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think it was HUD too. The other options don’t seem to fit as well.

I think it's HUD that regulates fair housing advertising, but I’m not completely sure. I remember something about them overseeing housing laws.
