Survey Shows Disability as Top Reason People Seek Help Because of Housing Discrimination

The results of a new Consumer Action [survey][1] of 549 community-based organizations (CBO) show that [housing discrimination][2] is a widespread problem for immigrants and other underserved people in the United States. Immigrants, people with disabilities, and families with children are most vulnerable to abuses when renting and buying. People with disabilities make up the lead, at 77 percent, of consumers looking for help from CBOs on housing discrimination problems.
