PD&R Quarterly Update: Source of Income Discrimination - July 25, 2024

WASHINGTON, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Register now for the Quarterly Update on source of income discrimination and laws hosted by HUD's Office of Policy Development & Research (PD&R) on Thursday, July 25, 2024, from 2 PM to 4 PM ET.

Over the past two decades, evidence of discrimination against housing choice voucher holders has grown. More than half of voucher households live in states and localities that have adopted ordinances to prevent this kind of discrimination. This event will bring together researchers, municipal and state government officials, and fair housing practitioners to share insights into the recent passage of local anti-discrimination ordinances, evaluate research about the impacts of these anti-discrimination laws, and discuss challenges to enforcing these ordinances.
