Measuring Housing Discrimination in a National Study
- Share to:
Federal law prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of seven protected classes including race (see Box 1-1). Despite 30 years of legal prohibition under the Fair Housing Act, however, there is evidence of continuing discrimination in American housing, as documented by several recent reports (e.g., Massey and Lundy, 1998; Ondrich et al., 2000). In 1998, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded a $7.5 million independently conducted Housing Discrimination Survey (HDS) of racial and ethnic discrimination in housing rental, sales, and lending markets (Public Law 105-276). This survey is the third such effort sponsored by HUD. Its intent is to provide a detailed understanding of the patterns of discrimination in housing nationwide.
