Fair Housing Trends from 2016

The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) recently published the "2017 Fair Housing Trends Report: The Case for Fair Housing."

As part of the report, the NFHA developed the infographic below to provide information on last year's trends. As you can see from the figures below, over half of the complaints made for housing discrimination are made by those with disabilities. 

These numbers prove that there is still much work to be done to promote fair and affordable housing. Contact ROOF for more information on fair housing issues.
