Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title HUD Data from Housing Discrimination in the Rental Housing Market Against People Who Are Deaf and People Who Use Wheelchairs
Summary:  View help for Summary Data from the first national paired-testing study of housing discrimination against people who are deaf or hard of hearing and against people who use wheelchairs. Given differences in the challenges faced by people who are deaf or hard of hearing from those experienced by people who use wheelchairs, there are two study designs. Tests with people who are deaf or hard of hearing focused on housing searches conducted with telecommunication relay services, whereas tests with people who use wheelchairs focused on housing searches for accessible buildings and housing units. In both cases, there is systematic evidence of unfavorable treatment.

The final report created by HUD is included along with folders for data from the Deaf/Hard of Hearing and Wheelchair User arms of the study.
