NY Times - Housing discrimination is on the rise in the United States, according to a new report, but fair housing advocates say the figures understate the scope of the problem.
The report, by the National Fair Housing Alliance, a nonprofit, said there were 32,321 complaints in 2024, drawing on data from fair housing organizations and government agencies. Complaints increased by more than 17 percent from 2014 to 2024 before a small drop. The highest number of complaints in recent years was in 2023, with 34,150.
The number of complaints has grown since 2014 for several reasons, including continuous efforts from nonprofits to educate the public about fair housing issues, said Lisa Rice, the alliance’s president and chief executive.
