why individuals filed complaints.
The most often alleged dis
crimination are over the terms
and conditions of the sale or
rental of housing, or refusal to
rent.
“This report shows the im
portance of HUD's continued
enforcem ent, education, and
outreach activities toensure that
all Americans have access to
housing opportunities,” ex
plained Kim Kendrick, HUD
Assistant Secretary for Fair
Housing and Equal Opportunity.
“As diverse as this country is,
we still see instances where
individuals are denied housing
because of the color of their
skin or because they have physi
cal disabilities that require cer
tain accommodations. Not only
is that not acceptable morally, it
is against the law.”
People who believe they are
the victims of housing discrimi
nation should contact HUD at
