HUD releases first Fair Housing report

The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) last week released the Obama Administration's first report on the state of fair housing in America. HUD's “Fiscal Year 2009 annual State of Fair Housing Report” highlights the agency's progress in enforcing the Fair Housing Act, identifies challenges that remain, and demonstrates its commitment to acting now to end housing discrimination.

The report shows that discrimination based on a person's disability status continues to account for the largest-single category of complaints. Of the 10,242 complaints filed with HUD and its fair housing partners during fiscal year 2009, 44 percent alleged disability discrimination, while 31 percent alleged discrimination based on race, and 20 percent based on family status. The number and type of complaints received are consistent with the previous two years.  The Department also handled an array of discrimination cases that resulted in compensation for the victims or pertained to families with children.
