More Housing Discrimination Data: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

This act aims to better understand housing discrimination. It mandates the collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity from individuals seeking housing or participating in housing programs. This will provide citizens and the government with a more complete picture, potentially aiding in the fight against unfair treatment.
Key points
Annual Surveys: The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will conduct annual surveys to determine levels of housing discrimination, including based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Data Collection: HUD and organizations receiving its assistance will be required to collect data on sexual orientation and gender identity, similar to how they collect demographic data (age, sex, ethnicity).
Public Reports: Survey findings on discrimination will be published annually and made publicly available on the HUD website.
Outreach and Education: HUD will promote awareness of the new data collection forms and requirements.
